HOW TO USE THE <br />AARP Walk Audit Tool Kit <br />The AARP WalkAudit Tool Kit has been created for use by <br />individuaIs, local leaders, large groups and teams of just two <br />people. In other words, the information in it can be used by <br />anyone who is concerned about the safety and walkability of a <br />street, neighborhood or community. <br />This walk audit booklet is organized into three parts, and the <br />print edition contains a back cover pocket for storing the tool kit's <br />worksheets, which are listed below and can be viewed and <br />downloaded for printing at AARP.org/WalkAudit. (Photocopying <br />the worksheets for sharing is encouraged!) <br />As new materials — such as additional worksheets or translations <br />into other languages — are added to the tool kit, we'll spread the <br />news through the free, weekly AARP Livable Communities <br />e-Newsletter.
