Promoting Active Communities (PAC) Program

Help your children take the next step by using the Promoting Active Communities (PAC) program.  Communities across Michigan are using the free PAC assessment to evaluate their policies, programs and built environment to better understand how to design for walking and biking, and earn an award for their efforts.  Each community receives a personalized feedback report to enhance the local planning process.  Anyone who wants to learn more can visit the PAC Web site at: www.mihealthtools.org/communities
