What could a Statewide Mobility Management Network look like for Indiana? Join Health by Design on Monday, November 14 as we discuss our final program area for the year, transit!

Health by Design has been working with Meredith Greene, AICP, of Socius Amica to facilitate discussions and gather input from multiple statewide partners and stakeholders. These discussions were focused on a framework for mobility management, garnered feedback, and developed a timeline to establish a statewide network. Please join us as we welcome Meredith to lead a detailed presentation on the background of the project, the framework, and the next steps, followed by opportunities for discussion and questions. There will also be plenty of time to connect with and hear updates from active living professionals and advocates from around the state! Register today.

Gary Public Transportation Corporation received an Indiana Department of Health grant for trail development, which has been put to work in the form of the new Art & History Fitness Trail!

The trail is ADA accessible, and highlights features like local artwork, historic architecture, and transit. You can learn more about the trail and the map of destinations it connects on the GPTC website.
