In five years, Jan Titsworth sees more pedestrians on the street in Fort Worth. She envisions restaurants will offer more healthy options and employers will make sure their stairwells are properly lit and the vending machines have fewer chips and candies. It’ll extend to children, too, who will walk to school with their chaperones rather than piling in cars.
“Residents will be moving naturally more and will have, as a community, a greater sense of well-being,” she said.
Titsworth is the executive director of the Blue Zones Project by Healthways, a five-year initiative aimed at changing the way Fort Worth residents live and work. The organization had its launch last night in Fort Worth, wherein organizers detailed to stakeholders the process for the next five years. The program officially begins on January 1.
