About the Workshop Series

Walkable communities are beneficial for safety, health, and the economy — but changes to streets and land use can spark debate and resistance.

Making Streets for Everyone: A Walkability Workshop for Elected and Government Leaders is a new virtual workshop series designed to give elected officials and government leaders the knowledge, tools, and confidence to advance walkable, people-first communities.

This series is designed for leaders who want to do the right thing, but may not always know the best path forward or how to build durable support. Participants will leave better prepared to advocate for policy and funding changes to build better streets for their communities.
