pedestrian advocacy

Pedestrian advocacy involves promoting the rights and safety of people who walk in urban areas. Advocates work to improve infrastructure, such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and lighting, ensuring they are safe and accessible for everyone. This movement encourages cities to prioritize walking as a viable transportation option, highlighting its benefits for health, the environment, and community interaction. By raising awareness and pushing for policy changes, pedestrian advocates aim to create safer and more inclusive spaces that support walking as a fundamental part of urban life.
