Hello, and welcome back to the fourth season of the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast! We are truly grateful for your support since 2020, and we're excited to bring you something truly special this season.
In today’s episode, what if we told you that technology might not be solely to blame for why kids don't play outside anymore? What if we said that the physical design of our roadways, parks, and neighborhoods could have a bigger impact on children's safety and access to outdoor play? Press play to hear:
- Eye-opening statistics on Child Pedestrian safety and Park Access
- Examples of best practices for planning with youth in mind
- We'll also take a closer look at how educational systems impact student travel and safety
We believe that this is a conversation that needs to be had, and we invite you to join us. Listen to learn more about this crucial issue and help be part of the solutions that can make a real difference for children.
Thank you for listening and tune in every other Tuesday where Nimo and Jas keep it Four Degrees to the Streets.
