A walk audit is:
01 A pedestrian-safety assessment
Looks at how people experience streets, sidewalks, crossings, and intersections.
02 A structured community-engagement activity
Centers the experiences of people who use the area.
03 A way to document barriers and opportunities
Identifies opportunities for safer, more accessible streets.
04 A relationship-building and leadership-development tool
Brings neighbors and community leaders together around shared priorities.
05 Evidence for action
Supports agency conversations, project accountability, grant reporting, public comment, media, and organizing.
06 A holistic, cross-team collaboration opportunity
Connects community members, advocates, agencies, and partners around what people need to move safely.
How Propel ATL does walk audits
Propel ATL works with community members and partners to plan and lead walk audits where people live, work, learn, and move. Together, we walk the route, observe conditions, document what we see and hear, and identify opportunities for action. We use what we learn to inform advocacy, engage decision-makers, and support community-led efforts for safer streets.
