Abstract
Routine youth physical activity (PA) fosters healthy habits and lasting cardiometabolic benefits into adulthood; however, significant disparities in PA persist by race, ethnicity, and income. Active transportation is an optimal intervention target to promote youth PA equity by building transportation self-efficacy skills. Going Places, a multilevel transportation self-efficacy intervention, aims to increase underserved youth PA and cardiometabolic health. We demonstrate preliminary efficacy, based on increased levels of PA, improved transportation self-efficacy, and reduced barriers to transportation use and PA to support positive patterns for lifelong health.
