First-Last Mile Infrastructure
The transportation infrastructure that is available for walkers, riders, and rollers between the first and last parts of their journey to get to their mode of transportation, whether it be a station or bus stop, is called the first-last mile connection.1 This infrastructure connection has become more desirable in order to accommodate for all road users.2 Individuals are deterred from walking more than a quarter of a mile to get to their local mode of public transportation, and ensuring that road users have sufficient infrastructure at the first and last parts of their journey will help make public transportation more accessible and convenient.
Considering this strategy will help achieve the goal of the following objectives
- Less Contamination

- Less Traffic Noise
- Connectivity and Inclusion
- Healthy Destinations
- Less Traffic Violence
- Active Transportation
- Green Space
