On Sept. 9, 2015, walking took center stage when the United States Surgeon General issued a national call to action to increase walking and walkability to address major public health challenges in America.
The call to action, which was issued live via Webcast at 10 a.m. EST, and titled Step It Up! The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities, put forth the benefits of walking while emphasizing the lack safe and convenient routes for people traveling by foot or wheelchair in many communities.
