Join WalkMassachusetts this winter to learn how to lead a walk audit with a North Shore Walk Audit Academy program! We'll start things off with a walk audit training at 10am on January 25, 2025 in Beverly, MA, which will include a demonstration walk audit in downtown Beverly starting at Gentile Brewing Company. Thank you to our convening partner, the Beverly Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
What is a walk audit? Walk audits are a tool for getting community input about walking conditions based on observation and your own lived experience. This firsthand information can add important detail to more technical information, and help improve traffic safety in your area.
What: Walk Audit Training hosted by WalkMassachusetts
When: Saturday 1/25/2025 10am - 1pm
Where: Gentile Brewing Company, 59 Park Street, Beverly, MA 01915Process: Group session, 1 mile walk audit Rantoul & Cabot Streets, Group Debrief.
This training will familiarize you with existing walk audit materials and protocols which will enable you to conduct audits in your own community. Learning materials and videos are also available on
WalkMassachusetts' website.
WalkMassachusetts' Walk Audit Academy training uses a ‘flipped classroom’ style; after the kick off meeting, participants review materials/training videos on their own. Any time spent on Zoom together is used to react to the materials, answer questions, and bring up locations on maps for discussion in preparation for leading your own walk audit.
