What Can California Do To Make Walking Easier & Safer? KQED Forum 10am PT

Being a pedestrian isn’t easy in California’s car-centric culture, so what can be done to improve walkability? I’ll be a guest on KQED Forum today at 10am PT to discuss, as part of Forum’s “In Transit” series where I’m a regular guest.

Much of the infrastructure in the state is built with cars in mind, and that means that walkers and wheelchair-users can confront serious safety risks in a state where an average of three pedestrians are killed every day. How is the state is addressing pedestrian safety issues, and what do you notice when you don’t use a car?

Joining me on the show will be Tim Weisberg, deputy director, marketing and public affairs, California Office of Traffic Safety.

You can stream live or tune in on KQED in Northern California.
