Introduction
Walking action planning aims to create an environment where walking is an easy transport choice thereby increasing walking trips and contributing to transport, health, planning and sustainability outcomes.
Set up
The first steps in developing a walking action plan involve defining objectives, defining the area and engaging with stakeholders.
Research and collate information
The current and likely future characteristics for walking should be identified by reviewing the policy context and collating or collecting relevant information.
Identify issues and plan actions
From a full understanding of the area, issues and deficiencies can be analysed and an action plan identified and and prioritised.
Implementation
Finally the action plan can be implemented. Action plans should be monitored and evaluated regularly to check progress.
