Abstract
Walkability is a buzzword in the industry. But what does it mean and how do you assess it? This session will examine how walkability is more than providing an accessible path. We will review the factors that influence how walkable a pedestrian facility is, and how walkability can be improved. The discussion includes strategies for assessing individual projects as well as completing community-wide inventories and assessments of pedestrian facilities.
