As Health by Design spends this week learning and teaching with the Walk Bike Places Conference in Indianapolis, we are seeing continued demonstration of community needs for inclusive and accessible infrastructure that promotes connection and equity. We aim to meet that demand for Hoosiers and provide state-wide support for strengthening communities. Please consider supporting our mission as we wrap up our fiscal year by making a donation. Visit our donation page to support Health by Design today.

Tactical Urbanism in the Heartland: How Indiana communities are using temporary demonstration projects to increase access to public places
Safe access to outdoor public spaces has become increasingly important for Hoosiers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our virtual public workshop will explore how Indiana communities are building temporary projects that lead to permanent changes supporting more active communities.
This free workshop will focus on the use of temporary traffic calming installations with examples from around the state. Whether you walk, bike, or roll, please join us!
This free workshop will be held via Zoom thanks to our partnership with the Indiana Department of Health. Please use the link below to save your spot!
June 29, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm (EST)
