The County of Westchester is undertaking a transportation and food access study that includes a high-level, county-wide analysis of the local population, food flows and provision, and an assessment of the charitable food system, to understand barriers and challenges residents face in accessing healthy and affordable foods. Fourth Economy is leading robust public engagement to hear from community members regarding what they would like to see in their neighborhoods. 

The ultimate goal of this study is to recommend transportation, community, and market-related enhancements to improve access to affordable quality food for all within the county, but especially Westchester County’s most vulnerable and food insecure residents.
