First-Mile, Last-Mile Connections to Transit Workshop

Health by Design will host the First-Mile, Last-Mile Connections to Transit workshop on Friday, November 13 from 9 AM to 3 PM at IndyGo board room, located at 1501 West Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222.

The workshop will focus on ensuring safe and accessible “first mile-last mile” connections to fixed-route transit service – the vital link between the curb, sidewalk, and bus stop. The goal of the workshop is to train volunteers how to examine the safety and accessibility features of fixed-route bus stops and the pedestrian infrastructure that connects to them. Health by Design encourages individuals with disabilities, family members, older adults, disability organization staff and advocates, nonprofit partners, local government staff, active transportation advocates, and elected officials to participate in the workshop.

The workshop is free but attendees are asked to complete the online registration by Monday, November 2. Anyone who is interested but cannot attend can sign up for monthly Health by Design and Indiana Citizens’ Alliance for Transit updates to find out more about their initiatives and other workshop opportunities.
