We need community leaders like you, who share the vision of a healthy, vibrant Marin,where people of all ages and backgrounds choose their sneakers or bicycles instead oftheir car keys. This vision is already happening...Marin is on the move. Join in and catchthe wellness spirit!

This toolkit was developed under the guidance of the Leadership Council of the Marin Wellness Collaborative, which is a program of the Nutrition Wellness Program of the Marin County Department of Health and Human Sevices. The Marin County Department of Public Works allocated funds for the development of this toolkit as part of the Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot program to promote the health benefits and safety measures of walking and biking in Marin County. It should be noted that Marin County Bicycle Coalition’s advocacy efforts were instrumental in the selection of Marin as one of the four communities in the U.S. who were chosen to take part in the NMTP program and receive $25 million in grant money to complete the project. Several individuals played an important role in the development of this toolkit: Linda Armstrong, Dan Dawson, CraigTackabery, Nan Moon, Heather Wooten, Wendi Kallins, Deb Hubsmith, Kim Baenisch, Molly Inglish, Carol Essick, Ed Hulme, Teri Rockas, Ana Bagtas, Barbara Clifton Zarate, Leah Smith, and the Leadership Council of the Marin Wellness Collaborative.

Nearly all of the organizations and agencies referenced in the fact sheets, resources, and tools section of this toolkit were utilized in the development of this toolkit. The following sources, however, were most heavily relied upon for their wealth of information, ideas, strategies, and resources made available for use by individuals, communities, and local governments:
Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Active Living Research
Active Living Resource Center
Alliance for Walking and Biking
Centers for Disease Control
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Sustrans (U.K.)
U.S. Dept. of Transportation F.H.A.

This toolkit was developed and designed by The Odyssey Group. Research, development, and design were completed by Aaron Moorhead and Chelsea Moorhead.
