Q WHO <br />INVITE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE <br />Will the walk audit be conducted by one person <br />or severa I? If several, how wi II peo ple of different <br />abilities, ages and life experiences be included? <br />The tool kit contains worksheets suitable for a <br />solo auditor ora team made up of neighbors, <br />colleagues, community members and, ideally, <br />elected officials or others with influence. <br />(Having local leaders see and experience the <br />location and pedestrian safety problems <br />firsthand can be a fasttrack to achieving <br />needed change.) <br />Keepin mind: <br />• If the walk audit is conducted by one person, <br />multiple visits might be needed in order to <br />perform all of the desired observations (orto <br />evaluate the street activity at various times of <br />the day) and document them accordingly. <br />• If theaudit isdone bytwo or more people, <br />individual assignments can be made. Train <br />the auditors ahead of time so everyone <br />counts and documents their observations in <br />the same way. <br />• After a team audit, someone will need to <br />gather and tally the collective results. <br />WALK AUDIT TYPE: <br />Walking Audit <br />► The young people in this photograph are <br />walking home from school along a Ph -mile <br />route dotted with houses, stores, eateries and <br />other businesses — but no sidewalks, <br />crosswalks or mid -block crossings. Due to <br />early school starting times and late -ending <br />extra cu rricu la r activities, teenagers often <br />walk to or from school in the dark. <br />Q WHEN <br />CHOOSE A DATE AND TIME <br />The volume and type of traffic (cars, buses, <br />bikes, pedestrians) will likely vary depending on <br />the day of the week or time of day. <br />Isthewalk audit being done because of <br />concerns about the safety of particular <br />pedestrians, such as schoolchildren, workers, <br />shoppers or retirees? If so, conductthe audit <br />when those people will be present. <br />If observations are needed during multiple <br />times of the day (including after dark), schedule <br />auditors to work in shifts. <br />Keepin mind: <br />• Check the weather forecast! There's no <br />need for walk auditors to endure extreme <br />temperatures, precipitation orwind. <br />• To be more comprehensive in the audit and <br />secure about the observations, consider <br />repeating the audit in the same spot, in the <br />same way but on a different day. <br />• Once the audit is done, start preparing the <br />report. (Seepage 16.) The findings can be <br />shared with the community and presented to <br />local leaders who maybe able to solve or help <br />solve the documented problems. ■ <br />AARP Walk AudIt Tool Kit IS <br />Page 50 of 89 <br />
