Community Design and Nondrivers: Connecting All of Us – America Walks

Transportation is deeply connected to health, housing, food access, education, economic opportunity, and more. Yet many of our communities are designed in ways that make it difficult for people who can’t drive to get where they need to go.

Approximately 30% of the U.S. population cannot drive because of age, disability, income, or other barriers. Everyone is a nondriver for at least part of their lives, and most people will outlive their ability to drive. What does that mean for our ability to age in place, access opportunities and care, stay connected, and move safely across our communities throughout our lives?

Join America Walks on Sept. 25 at 1 p.m. CT for Community Design and Nondrivers – Connecting All of Us to explore opportunities to make our transportation systems work for all. Hear real-world experiences from people navigating current challenges, and learn how issues such as time spent traveling, safety, and access impact daily life.. Most importantly, we’ll look at what’s possible and ask the fundamental question: “What kind of community do we want to live in?”

Join us to reimagine communities to be healthier and more connected, accessible, and resilient for all people. This webinar is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity in support of the Active People, Healthy Nation Initiative℠.
