Blue Zones Project Jacksonville

National Bike & Roll to School Day is Wednesday, May 8, 2024. Since May 2012, communities across the United States have encouraged active trips to school to incorporate regular physical activity each day, a healthy habit that can last a lifetime. See who is biking and rolling in 2024: bit.ly/3wsQNJVSome ways to improve the safety of a child’s active transportation to school include: *Always encourage visibility: Use reflectors and lights, especially in low-lit areas or times of day. *Always encourage the use of helmets and other injury-prevention protective gear. *Teach children to cross streets at marked crossings and to always look for traffic. *Provide and use safe, well-maintained walkways separate from vehicles. *Slow traffic in neighborhoods and near schools through traffic calming strategies and enforcement efforts. *Ensure that walkways are continuous and meet or exceed national accessibility standards.Bike Rodeos are another fun, creative way to teach children about safe bicycle transportation.

We are so excited to designate Community First Cre

We are so excited to designate Community First Credit Union of Florida as a Blue Zones Approved Worksite! Healthier work environments can benefit both employers and their employees. Most jobs today are sedentary, with only about 20 percent requiring moderate physical activity. By encouraging companies to introduce initiatives like standing desks, scheduled activity breaks, and healthy food options in the workplace, we can implement small changes that lead to significant improvements in employees’ overall health and productivity. By creating a culture that values well-being, employers like Community First are fostering a more engaged and motivated workforce, reducing absenteeism and increasing job satisfaction. Bravo @commfirstcu 🥳

Take the Core 2 Coast Trail (South) Public Opinion

Take the Core 2 Coast Trail (South) Public
Opinion Survey!

The North Florida TPO is partnering with Duval County to determine the most feasible alignment for a continuous shared-use path (SUP), oftentimes referred to as a “trail,” to extend from the Fuller Warren bicycle-pedestrian bridge in the Riverside San Marco area of Jacksonville to the beach communities on the eastern border of Duval County (Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach).
