About WalkBoston

making massachusetts more walkable

WalkBoston makes walking safer and easier in Massachusetts to encourage better health, a cleaner environment and vibrant communities. • Our education and advocacy programs give voice to people to make their communities more walkable. • Working with government agencies, we influence state and local transportation policies and designs. • We develop and implement innovative programs that address social and physical barriers to walking. • Our work especially benefits those who depend on walking the most: people with lower incomes, seniors and children, and people with disabilities.

Why we do what we do

While everyone walks, few people think about ways to make it safer, easier and more enjoyable. WalkBoston does. We play a leading role all across Massachusetts in engaging cities and towns, state agencies, residents, developers, institutions, and elected officials to work together to improve the everyday conditions for walking.

Old City Hall 45 School Street Boston MA 02108

At some point of every trip you are a walker — whether it’s to and from your car or the train, or all the way to your destination. Walking is: • a crucial form of transportation • an excellent, low-impact exercise • the way to create neighborly communities • good for business and commerce

let’s make massachusetts more walkable

We advocate for wider sidewalks, safer intersections, and well-timed walk lights. We encourage more walking through initiatives such as Safe Routes to School, snow removal programs, community walkability assessments and great walking maps.
