About this episode

This episode discusses the collaboration between public health and transportation agencies in Indiana to support local communities.

On this episode, we sit down with two state-level leaders who are bridging the gap between transportation and public health in Indiana. From public health, transportation, quality of life, and safety, this episode is full of information. Joining us are Pete Fritz , Healthy Communities Planner in the Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity at the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), and Brandon Burgoa , Statewide Bicycle Pedestrian Coordinator at the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Together, we dive into the inner workings of the public health and transportation sectors, exploring how these two state agencies team up to fund, educate, and support local communities. Whether you're interested in major funding for active transportation master plans or quick-build "pop-up" tactical urbanism projects, this conversation highlights how IDOH and INDOT are working on the ground to support local Hoosiers.
