Walkability & Bikeability Audits

Communities that are walkable and bikeable are great places to live, work, and play. But how do we make our communities walkable and bikeable? We can start through walkability and bikeability audits.

Walkability and bikeability audits identify barriers that make it difficult for people of all ages and abilities to walk/bike. Communities can conduct audits to pinpoint these barriers and create pedestrian and bicycle-friendly infrastructure. These audits can be used to create travel plans, make infrastructure improvements, and earn Sustainable Jersey points.

RideWise can help you conduct audits in your own community by providing technical assistance. We’ll help you map a route, lead a community workshop, and will provide a report on our findings. We can help you conduct audits on any scale, from your neighborhood street to the entire town.

You can use our worksheets below to identify barriers in your town or on your street. Share your findings with us or learn more by emailing staff@ridewise.org!
