Transportation
The ways that residents get around the
community and beyond, from driving safety to pedestrian infrastructure is a critical social determinant of health because it directly impacts physical activity, air quality, safety, and access to essential healthcare. Sustainable transport systems—such as cycling, walking, and public transit—reduce chronic diseases, prevent injuries, and mitigate environmental pollution.
Please Note: The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of organizations in Pacifica that offer community support for transportation but rather as common examples of ones that contribute to Pacifica’s livability.
