Pedestrian Advocacy
Pedestrian advocacy focuses on promoting the rights and safety of people who walk in urban environments. Advocates work to improve infrastructure, such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian zones, making it easier and safer for individuals to navigate their communities on foot. This movement often emphasizes the importance of walkable neighborhoods for public health and environmental sustainability.
Organizations and groups involved in pedestrian advocacy aim to raise awareness about the benefits of walking and the need for better policies. They may collaborate with local governments, urban planners, and community members to create safer streets and promote initiatives like Complete Streets and Safe Routes to School.
