All the efforts included in this toolbox have, at their core, one purpose — to get people moving. In this section, we showcase efforts that aim directly at that goal. Walking town meetings, and community awareness campaigns and challenges are all tools that municipalities can use to get their town moving.Town meetings are a cornerstone of public participation in many municipalities; a few municipalities have taken these meetings to the streets. These meetings can be large, organized events with multiple walk leaders and many participants or smaller weekly jaunts visiting different neighborhoods. For example, the town manager of Roxbury Township has again this summer invited residents to join him for a weekly half-hour run designed to discuss local issues and survey different parts of the township.
