^a Active Communities Tool (ACT): an action planning guide and assessment modules to improve community built environments to promote physical activity (14). Part of this table is modified from tables 1 and 2 of the Community Guide recommendations (13), page 3.

^b ACT modules can be accessed at https://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/community-strategies/active-communities-tool/assessment-modules.html (14).

^c Examples of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure can be found at http://www.pedbikeinfo.org/ (20).

^d Schools were not a separate recommended intervention from the Community Guide, but were a separate ACT module that covered interventions relating to the 1) pedestrian and bicycle transportation system and 2) land use and environment design.
