The Sandy Williams Connecting Communities Program (SWCCP) was established to improve active transportation connectivity for people walking, biking and rolling along and across current and legacy highways. The program focuses on communities with high equity needs, which are those communities most affected by barriers to opportunity and environmental health disparities. The program name honors Sandy Williams, a community activist who worked to reconnect her African American neighborhood after the construction of Interstate 90 through the city of Spokane split it in half.
