Accommodate or provide dedicated infrastructure for cyclists via bicycle paths, lanes, cycle tracks or protected lanes, etc.

Restrict alcohol consumption anywhere on a college or university campus or only in specific areas (e.g., residence halls)

Use broad media-based efforts to educate large groups of current and potential tobacco users about the dangers of tobacco use

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly

Promote walking and biking to school through education, incentives, and environmental changes; often called SRTS

Teach students personal and social skills to avoid tobacco use; led by teachers, health educators, or students in elementary schools, middle schools, or high schools

Encourage participants to quit using tobacco by a set date or during a specific time period and give successful participants a chance to win financial rewards or other prizes; often called Quit & Win contests

Set the number, type, proximity, and density of tobacco retailers, especially near homes and schools, via state or local zoning, licensing restrictions, or other regulations

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones
