    Active Transportation Elements Active transportation refers to human-powered travel, including walking and bicycling. Public transit is also a component of active transportation because accessing transit stops usually involves walking or bicycling. Wide- spread use of the term began as transportation policy placed increased emphasis on non-automobile modes and as the links between human health and transportation planning became more evident. Active transportation modes are essential components of the overall transportation system, meeting a variety of societal, environmental, and economic goals. These include: • Environmental stewardship and energy sustainability: Replacing gasoline-powered automobile trips with active trips reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, air toxins and particulates, helping to maintain air quality and address energy sustainability. • Congestion alleviation: People who walk, bike and use transit reduce the number of motor vehicles vying for space on roadways and in parking lots. The active mode share for commuting from Wash- ington County is currently estimated to be about 11% for work-related trips.6 Reduced congestion improves air quality, livability and economic vitality. • Health: “Obesity is one of the biggest public health challenges the country has ever faced.7” The con- ditions in which we live explain in part why some Americans are healthier than others and why Ameri- cans are generally not as healthy as they could be. The social determinants of health include five key areas: Economic Stability, Education, Social and Community Context, Health Care, and the Neighbor- TEXT ADOPTED hood and Built Environment. The TSP sets the framework for future decisions about the Neighborhood and Built Environment component. Due to the connection to public health and healthy outcomes, it is necessary that public health and active lifestyles are considered as we make these choices.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.
