When confronted with pressing challenges, it helps to attach with others, make a considerate plan and get busy. And the those that care about walkability – due to what it may possibly do for well being, security, fairness, local weather and group – are getting busy!  

Since we’re approaching the tip of the yr, we thought we’d share “America Walks by the Numbers 2023” to present a taste of what we did to contribute to the motion. 

• 8,065 registrants for our instructional webinars

• 100+ Walkability Wins celebrated in our weblog sequence of the identical title

• 61 communities acquired recommendation and assist on profitable federal grants via our Intersections Initiative, a joint undertaking with Protected Routes Partnership and the League of American Bicyclists

• 50+ organizations supported which can be working to take away freeways or mitigate the damages of freeways via cities

At America Walks, we imagine that the work of people, small teams and native advocacy organizations provides as much as nationwide impression. We offer native advocates with instruments to assist them succeed – whether or not that’s coaching on coverage and organizing, connections to different advocates, or small grants. We all know that after they get began, individuals usually develop in expertise, tackle greater challenges, and even run for workplace themselves. And after we work collectively, we is usually a highly effective power for adjustments in nationwide coverage.

We stay up for what we are able to accomplish collectively in 2024.
