About Walk SF
• Founded as all volunteer group in 1998; non-profit established in 2003
• Mission: to make walking safer, so our
community is healthier and more livable
• Membership based organization
What we do
• Pedestrian Safety/Vision Zero • Safe Routes to Schools
• Walkability
Pedestrian Safety | Vision Zero
Just 12% of SF streets
Account for over 70% of all severe and fatal crashes Map: San Francisco Department of Public Health, 12/2014
Current Challenges
• Challenging to measure when a street is “fixed”
• Enforcement takes an individual behavior approach; Vision Zero takes a systems approach
• Does data demonstrate that increasing prosecution and penalties increases safety?
Safe Routes to School
Walkability
