Webinar: Active School Travel & the Built Environment

Our Owner / Operator, Dr. Andrew Clark, spoke today at the Ontario Association of School Business Officials Active School Travel working group meeting about the relationships between Active School Travel (AST) and the Built Environment. In this webinar, he explores the differences between City Building Environmental factors likes Population Density, Intersection Density, Land Use Mix, and Sidewalk Availability. He also investigates how interventions and policy can be used to change perceptions and reality around the built environment and AST.
