Although many students at Valley Forge Middle School continue to learn remotely due to COVID-19, the school, in partnership with GVF, did not let that stop them from celebrating National Bike or Walk to School Day on October 14th virtually. Through the My School in Motion program, GVF and Valley Forge Middle School put together a fun educational video for students that discussed the school's bike and walking infrastructure, safety policies, and t

Cities Today - The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is making US$10 million available in grants for public transport agencies to develop, deploy and demonstrate innovative COVID-safe solutions. The funding follows a series of FTA ‘listening sessions’ held over the last three months, during which transit agencies requested support for research to identify measures to address the operational challenges that they are facing as a result of COVID-19.

I was winding my way up Finland, en route to the world’s first ever Winter Cycling Congress, hosted by a city called Oulu some 400 miles north. It had been snowing non-stop for a week.

Spanning Chester, Lancaster and Montgomery counties, the state’s newest greenway enables users to travel between the Schuylkill and Susquehanna rivers. “This designation of the Statewide Ma

As the School District of Philadelphia stares down the possibility of resuming in-person classes in November, some have raised concerns about the safety of public transit for student commutes. Many students use SEPTA to get to and from school and may worry about COVID exposure. Young Philadelphians like myself who rely on transit understand these concerns, but we worry that a lack of understanding, rather than scientific evidence and SEPTA’s progress, could guide riding behav

A study aiming to revamp several area trail points has cleared its final hurdle with county leaders' stamp of approval at a recent Montgomery County Commissioners meeting. The Montgomery County Trail Access, Diversity and Awareness Plan was funded by an $87,000 grant through the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Transportation and Community Development Initiative, according to Bill Hartman, the Montgomery County Planning Commission’s section chief for trails and
