A walk audit is an evaluation of walking and biking conditions near schools. Walk audits are performed during either the time of arrival or dismissal of students and help to assess the condition of sidewalks, crosswalks, signs, and behavior of students, parents and commuters that use the corridors used by students to get to school. One objective of a walk audit is to identify and document factors that hinder students from walking or bicycling to school. Some of these hindrances include, but are not limited to the width of sidewalks, volume of traffic, street signs and lighting, availability of bicycle lanes and topography. 

Information recorded from a walk audit will be used to inform and prioritize future infrastructure improvement plans through the Complete Streets program. Improvements may include curb extensions, traffic calming, crossings, or better wayfinding to schools along accessible routes.

A walk audit is performed by a multidisciplinary group to examine conditions. This group includes trained professionals, engineers, planners, pedestrian and bicycle specialists, school administration, volunteers, and parents.

The purpose of a walk audit is to identify and record concerns for students as they walk or bike to school. Information recorded from the audit will be used to inform and prioritize future infrastructure improvement plans through the Complete Streets program. Improvements may include curb extensions, traffic calming, crossings, or better wayfinding to schools along accessible routes.  Programmatic recommendations to increase safe walking and biking to schools will also be included in the final reports and will be considered for implementation by ACPS.

The Safe Routes to School Program is funded in the City's Capital Improvement Program. Additional funding may be available through regional, state, and federal grants.

Crossing guards are an important element of providing safe routes for kids to walk or bike to school. The City's crossing guard program is managed by the Alexandria Police Department.
