Lindsay Braun’s research addresses the relationship between the built environment and travel behavior with emphases on active transportation (walking and cycling), public health, and social equity. She is interested in the potential for the built environment to facilitate physical activity as part of daily travel routines and for active transportation strategies to advance broad livability and sustainability goals in urban areas. Importantly, her work recognizes that transportation infrastructure systems – along with the accessibility and health benefits that they can provide – are unevenly distributed across neighborhoods of varying demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
