Stepping Toward Safer Streets: AARP’s Walkability Series

AARP Massachusetts is championing walkability. In too many communities, people can't safely walk to where they need or want to go due to a lack of sidewalks, crosswalks or other safety features that make streets safe for pedestrians and drivers.

This webinar with WalkMassachusetts demonstrates how you can plan and conduct a walk audit to improve walkability. Discover key tools and strategies to evaluate street safety, accessibility, and pedestrian experience. Learn to structure a walk audit, engage community members, and use mapping and survey tools. We share real-world examples of successful walk audits that led to policy changes and infrastructure improvements. Whether you're an advocate or local leader, this webinar will equip you to drive positive change in your neighborhood!
