AARP Walk Audit Tool Kit

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 free publication can be used by local leaders, advocates, community organizations and residents to assess and report on the safety and walkability of a street, intersection or neighborhood.

En muchas comunidades, las personas no pueden caminar de manera segura a donde necesitan o quieren ir debido a la falta de aceras, cruces peatonales u otras características que determinan si las calles son seguras para los peatones y conductores. Esta publicación gratuita puede ser utilizada por líderes locales, defensores, organizaciones comunitarias y residentes para evaluar e informar sobre la seguridad y la transitabilidad de una calle, intersección o vecindario.
