In order to apply for the CPPW funding, cities are required to choose at least one strategy from the following list. In addition, it is expected that the CPPW strategies selected will be linked to the city’s plan for the Let’s Move Cities and Towns Initiative. Nutrition 1. Enhance existing city food and beverage policies or institute and implement new food and beverage policies to improve food standards for city operated or contracted programs serving employees and the public (e.g. worksites, childcare and youth programs). Note: policies could focus on one or two programs or be more comprehensive. 2. Increase the accessibility and affordability of fresh fruits and vegetables through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) projects and farmers’ markets and the use of EBT/Food Stamps. 3. Implement beverage pricing strategy that decreases consumption of unhealthy beverages. Physical Activity 1. Leverage and expand city initiatives to create or augment existing active transportation policies such as complete streets policies, pedestrian and bicycle master plans, crosswalks policies, bike parking policies or health elements in general plan updates. 2. Expand city efforts to outreach and provide support for development of bike parking and other features to support bicycling to businesses/city locations (e.g. promoting bike share programs or locating bike racks at schools, libraries, transit centers, recreation centers, government buildings, office buildings, retail centers, parks, etc.). 3. Develop Safe Routes to School capacity through transportation planning processes or policy development (e.g. development of Safe Routes to School National Partnership Consensus Statements, prioritization of safety and comfort of school children in street modification projects, reduction of speeds in school zones, or demonstration of need for additional Safe Routes to School interventions through planning).
