At America Walks, we view transit as essential to creating walkable communities. So, what are the factors that make transit effective, and what are some myths about transit? What land uses support transit? And with constrained finances, what is the tradeoff between service to the largest area possible as opposed to more frequent service on the routes with the highest demand?
Join us for an introduction to transit and walkability featuring Jarrett Walker, a transit planner who has led major planning projects in the U.S. and around the world.
Attendees of this webinar will learn:
- The underlying geometry of transit and the types of communities that do and don’t support transit
- The tradeoff between geographical coverage of transit networks and ridership, and how to think about it
- A better understanding of the community design choices that influence how transit supports walkability
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 to help 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027.
