In a video titled “Why did kids stop walking to school?” urban planner and videographer Uytae Lee explores the decline in children walking or biking to school over the past four decades. Lee highlights statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation showing a significant decrease from 48% in 1969 to just 11% today. Produced in collaboration with TransLink, the video advocates for more children to walk to school, citing benefits such as improved health, reduced congestion, and decreased pollution. Lee argues that prioritizing greener transportation options is crucial in the context of global efforts to combat environmental issues.
