Walking is a transportation mode of regional significance. Every trip as a pedestrian can be an economic generator, one fewer vehicle on the streets, and an improvement of individual and community health. Making pedestrian projects a higher priority in design, policy, and funding is achievable with support from citizens, businesses, and professionals.

We are beginning to further develop this section of the web site to help you:

6. Take Walking to Another Level
   Walking is one of the richest activities known to humankind. Feet First members understand that being a pedestrian is NOT mundane. Rather, it is at the core of citizenship, health, and humanity. Explore the riches of walking and the role that pedestrian environments play in shaping a vital culture. Try walking to work, even if it is 3 miles or more from your home. One of our members has walked 18 miles to work, across Lake Washington.
7. Talk to Your Elected Representatives
   Pedestrians are regularly short-changed in transportation legislation. Have a quick conversation with your elected representatives at the city and state level. Let them know that you want to see more money included for pedestrian projects. Invite them for a walk with you. Feet First will be happy to provide you with materials to support you.
