The WALC Institute helps communities envision built environments that are more walkable and livable. Institute team members work with municipalities, state governments, national advocacy groups, non-profit organizations, neighborhood associations, resident advocates, consulting firms and developers to retrofit existing streets or design new places that support active living and create a sense of community.

Technical assistance might include active-living workshops and walkability audits; Safe Routes to School plans; transportation, pedestrian and bicycle master plans; community outreach; policy analysis; technical training for practitioners; “aging-in-place” or “living-in-place” initiatives; livability plans;  educational materials; civic engagement plans; corridor and safety studies; facilitators’ and implementation guides; and other support for communities seeking to become more walkable and livable.

 The Institute team would love to hear how we can be of help to your community. For assistance, please contact us.
