Ashley Thornton is the founder of Waco Walks, an organization devoted to promoting walkability in Waco, Texas. She was inspired to start the organization after spending a year with walking as her primary form of transportation.

Ashley and Tiffany discuss the design choices that make Waco difficult to walk in and how Waco Walks is working to change that.
