Join us Thursday, December 3, for the next Building a Healthier Heartland discussion, Transportation Policy & Healthy Communities. Transportation policy has a direct effect on health. A transportation system that allows for easy access to fresh food centers and provides safe walking and biking conditions is critical to the overall health of a community. Kevin Mills, vice president of policy at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC), will lead our discussion on the importance of active transportation policy and the impact on communities.
