Abstract
Description
The Walk Audit Training Certification program is an original service learning curriculum that teaches students how to evaluate the pedestrian experience. Temple Sustainability partnered with local legacy environmental non-profit Clean Air Council and their pedestrian advocacy organization, Feet First Philly. Through this program and its skill delivery in the fields of asset-based community development and community organizing, we present walking as a model for sustainable behavior change and active and engaged urban stewardship. In connecting this work to Temple University’s sustainable transportation and operations goals, the Walk Audit program is an essential step in reducing emissions from commuting to Temple University campuses.
