When we talk about growing communities, we often think about roads, bridges and major infrastructure projects. But there’s a powerful, sometimes overlooked driver of economic growth: active transportation—things like trails, bikeways, sidewalks and complete streets. Investing in these systems not only moves people more safely and sustainably—it helps attract businesses, revitalize downtowns and build stronger, healthier communities. B&N’s Amy Rosepiler and Deserae Dinger join us on this episode as we dig into why Active Transportation (AT) is becoming a key pillar of economic growth and why communities that act now stand to benefit the most.
