MapNoCO is a crowd-sourced data collection tool for Larimer County residents and visitors to document the quality of how they move around their community. This information can help ensure that our community is planned and designed for everyone and will positively impact the health, safety and well-being of our community for years to come. MapNoCO is brought to you by a working group comprised of staff from the Cities of Loveland and Fort Collins, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Institute for the Built Environment, Bike Fort Collins, Colorado State University, Thompson School District Safe Routes to School, with coordination provided by the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment. Funding was provided through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Cancer, Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease grant program.
Larimer County Department of Health and Environment’s Built Environment team is excited to announce the launch MapNoCO! MapNoCO is a crowd-sourced data collection tool for Larimer County residents and visitors to document the quality of how they move around their community.
Throughout the month of June, we will be promoting a community wide competition where participants have the chance to win a $100 gift card. We will also be hosting two train-the-trainer events to show residents the tool and teach them about walking audits and infrastructure. We would love your help and support to help get the word out! Whether it’s through social media, newsletters, or handing out the flyer,we appreciate anything you can do to increase our reach.
Additionally, we are happy to schedule a walking audit and training with your organization. Through June 30, we do have some funds for food, child care, and incentives to participate. Please let me know if this is something of interest.
Finally, we will be hosting two community conversation events (June 27, 6-8pm, Old Town Library & June 29, 5:30-7:30pm, Loveland Public Library) where we plan to have activities and discussions pertaining to community values, assets and barriers, and public participation. If this might be of interest to the people you work with, please let us know and we will be sure to keep you in the loop.
I have attached a flyer to this email as well as a quick blurb about the competition and training events below. Please check out mapnoco.org/competition for more information! Thank you for your help. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
