Walking Audit - State of Practice
Client/Partner: Ontario Traffic Council (OTC), Public Space Workshop
Description: The purpose of this research project was to better understand how 'walking audits' are being used in Ontario and specifically to:
• Determine current awareness and application of Walking Audits in Ontario
• Understand challenges, opportunities, and merits for the application of Walking Audits to support transportation network planning and design
• Assess need and interest in professional development opportunities for Walking Audit training
The method included purposive sampling - identifying contacts according to their previous experience with OTC committees; and their involvement with active transportation planning and design in government, consulting, public health or NGOs in Ontario; and snowball sampling – participants were asked to suggest other potential contacts with Walking Audit experience to be invited to participate in the study.
