Every child knows to look both ways before crossing the street. But in many places, looking both ways isn’t enough: almost 18,000 children are hospitalized each year for pedestrian injuries.

We can do more to keep kids safe while walking or biking. A Complete Streets approach is fundamental to make streets safer for everyone—of all ages—who uses them. But towns can’t do it without our help.

Smart Growth America is proud to be home to the National Complete Streets Coalition, which works to make streets better for people and places.

More than 600 jurisdictions have adopted Complete Streets policies, thanks in large part to the Coalition’s work, and many use the Coalition’s guidance and technical assistance to turn those policies into changes you can see.

In the coming year, we can reach even more communities—with your help.

Complete Streets are just one of the ways we’re helping cities, towns, and neighborhoods across the country grow in better ways. Join the effort for better communities: Make a donation today.
