PHEAL, the APA Health Equity and Planning Interest Group, and A Healthy Blueprint hosted our first webinar of 2025 focused on transportation. This conversation featured experts in urban policy, transportation planning, and advocacy, who bring deep experience creating safer and more accessible streets for all communities.
Our speakers discussed how vastly different, and at times how very similar, transportation policies and advocacy can be across a region, and how advocates and practitioners often approach the same challenges from different angles.
