As others have pointed out

less than one quarter of U.S. adults in a nationally representative sample reported walking or bicycling for transportation for more than 10 minutes continuously in a typical week.

This data is probably excluding things like walking around work or grocery shopping and looking at just walking/bicycling to get from point A to point B in lieu of cars or trains. They explicitly use the term "active transportation" here.
