Walk Audits to Create Safer and More Accessible Communities

Date: Feb 29, 2024 at 3:00pm to 4:00pm
Walk audits are an invaluable tool to engage community members to evaluate and advocate for improvements to their neighborhoods that foster safer and more accessible spaces for people of all ages and abilities to be active. In this workshop, organizers will share how passionate young people have leveraged walk audits to advocate for tangible changes such as sidewalks, crosswalks, shade trees and lighting, to their neighborhood in Hillsborough, NC. Attendees will then participate in an interactive walk audit around campus to gain firsthand experience in assessing walkability and learn strategies to improve active living in their own communities. register here for CLE credit: https://heellife.unc.edu/event/9854899 internal accountability: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfL0ebu9RnA8-0HJBsFtPh9Tk5JLdDHkpqjWjPLcLMm4kcQBA/viewform?usp=sf_link
