In the Spring of 2008, a class of IUPUI SPEA Capstone students developed a toolkit for assessing neighborhood walkability. The project underwent review and some revision in the Health by Design Evaluation Committee and was piloted among coalition members in the Spring of 2009. We invite you to use this tool to evaluate your own neighborhood and to help promote walkability! Don’t hesitate to get in touch with questions or for more information.

There’s a website that does a similar walkability profile, http://www.walkscore.com/ but I’m encouraged that local organizations are taking an active role in advocating for walkable cities.
