Project Sidewalk can be a powerful tool for even one person
If you’re a community member passionate about enhancing the accessibility and walkability of your neighborhood, Project Sidewalk provides an excellent avenue for active participation.
If your community is already part of Project Sidewalk, you can dive right in! Simply create an account and commence your missions to contribute valuable sidewalk accessibility data.
For communities not yet integrated into Project Sidewalk, consider the following questions:
- Identify Your Area of Interest: Determine which specific region in your community is of interest to you. This could be a neighborhood, a commercial district, or any area where sidewalk accessibility matters to you.
- Define Your Purpose: Clarify your goals for conducting sidewalk audits. What do you intend to achieve with the data you collect? Whether it’s advocating for improvements, fostering community awareness, or other objectives, having a clear purpose will guide your efforts.
- Explore Collaborative Opportunities: Investigate potential collaborations with community groups or leaders who share similar concerns. Partnering with others can amplify your impact and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the community’s needs.
Once you’ve answered these questions, the Project Sidewalk team is ready to assist you in opening up your community. By joining this initiative, you not only contribute to positive changes in your neighborhood but also become an integral part of a collective effort to enhance the overall accessibility of urban spaces.
