Walkability Principles

Help us demonstrate demand for safe, attractive walking conditions by endorsing the Walkability Principles.

By endorsing the Walkability Principles, you strengthen WalkSanDiego's local advocacy voice.  The Walkability Principles were created by America Walks, the national coalition of walking advocates - of which WalkSanDiego is a proud member. Your support also helps America Walks' efforts to increase federal policy support and funding for walkable communities.

1. Communities should be designed for healthy, active lifestyles;
2. Neighborhoods should be socially, culturally and economically vibrant;
3. Every neighborhood should include attractive public spaces that promote human interaction;
4. Architecture and streetscapes should encourage walking; and
   
5. Local, state, and federal transportation funds should be used to make walking safer.
