Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valley

CAT IMPROVES MOBILITY, CELEBRATES OUR COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH EDUCATION ABOUT SAFE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, BICYCLING, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, AND TRAIL SYSTEMS.

Description:
CAT - Coalition for Appropriate Transportation, an educational charity, works to improve mobility for everyone. Improved walking, bicycling and public transportation mean a stronger economy, a higher quality of life.

More transportation choices mean less congestion, reduced pollution, and fewer auto crash deaths/life changing injuries, too. Curbing our use of the automobile fights suburban sprawl, obesity and increasingly high medical costs.

CAT helps us enjoy our car free options!

LOVE YOUR LOCAL TRAIL.
WALK IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
BIKE SOMEWHERE TODAY.
ENJOY THE LANTA BUS.

Walking, biking, mass transit and local trails offer a more active life, greater vitality, a healthier population. CAT's educational programs encourage these appropriate transportation choices for a more sustainable, pleasant lifestyle.
