AARP Livable Communities

Take Action!

Share the walk audit findings with local leaders, elected officials and members of civic organizations and neighborhood groups. See page 18 of the AARP Walk Audit Tool Kit (pictured) for information about reporting results and proposing solutions. 

Take a Look at Trails

In some communities, residents get around by using pathways that are open to pedestrians, cyclists and certain low-speed motorized vehicles. See the worksheets for Multiuse Paths and Trails.

Each worksheet can be used on its own or in combination with other worksheets. Each can be printed anew for observing a different street or block. 

A walk audit can occur in a single-location or along a route between destinations (aka a mobile walk audit).

We encourage printing, photocopying and sharing the worksheets so numerous walk auditors — working solo or as part of a team — can observe and document the safety of a community's streets and sidewalks.

This page includes links for downloading individual worksheets as well as for downloading the complete 11-worksheet collection. 

Choose from a one-page worksheet or a two-page large-type version, both of which can be used by printing (and completing by hand) and/or as a fillable PDF that can be completed on an electronic device then printed or shared online.
