The Walking College is a six-month, distance-learning fellowship. Participants, paired with experienced leaders in the field and peers working in similar capacities across North America, learn about the historical underpinnings of the car-centric transportation landscape and the basics of design and policy that foster safe, inclusive, accessible design for non-motorized transportation while developing essential leadership skills. Over the course of the program, they also create a blueprint for taking action on a particular problem in their community.
Since its inception in 2015, America Walks has graduated about 150 walkable community leaders through this program. This report is an in-depth look at the outcomes of much of their collective work and provides a glimpse at intimate examples of how the Walking College is creating tangible, grassroots change in neighborhoods across the United States.
