Walking Audit Volunteer Team

After driving, walking is the most popular mode of transportation in the United States. However, in many towns, cities and neighborhoods, the only way to get around is by car because walking is just too dangerous.

AARP Alabama walk audits can help individuals, groups and local leaders assess the walkability of the sidewalks and streetsin their neighborhoods, downtown and other locations.

AARP Alabama provides tools and training for individuals of all ages and abilities to conduct walk audits. The organization is currently seeking a team of volunteers interested in conducting walk audits in Montgomery. The audits can generate vital information useful to the city.

If you're interested in joining a new walk-audit team of volunteers, this opportunity is for you! Walk audits usually take about an hour for the audit, more or less depending on the location, and another hour or more for a final summary session. Walk audit leaders may also assist by creating a report summarizing the findings.
