Foot Notes is an original podcast series examining the intersection of walkability and race. Over the course of five episodes, you’ll hear from a variety of transportation planners, researchers, and advocates about the issues with our current approach to walkability, and what solutions may be out there.
Walking for 30 minutes a day, five days a week is all you need to meet official exercise recommendations. Yet only 1 in 5 Americans do it. In our final episode, we’ll learn about a groundbreaking public health initiative to get Black women walking.
