We investigate the relationship between people who worked from home during the pandemic and how often they walked before, during, and after COVID. We find that people who worked from home during the pandemic had the largest increases in walking frequency compared to people who did not work from home and people who were unemployed. Similarly, people who work from home also expect to walk more after the pandemic subsides compared to others. After controlling for socio-economic, demographic, and transportation factors, we found that working from home and having a high income are associated with a higher propensity of walking during and after the pandemic.
