Strategies

Match disadvantaged or at-risk youth with volunteer mentors in school or community settings

Allow community members to gather, socialize, walk, run, bike, skate, etc. on streets temporarily to closed to motorized traffic; also called Ciclovía programs

Establish transportation services for areas with low population densities using publicly funded buses and vans on a set schedule, dial-a-ride transit, volunteer ridesharing, etc.

Provide short-term employment opportunities for youth, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds
