Communities are often unsure of which walkability reforms to focus on, how to prioritize investments, or what outcomes they can anticipate. There is also often confusion around how to define transportation equity and how to properly analyze inequities once a definition of equity has been agreed to. This webinar will highlight research done to analyze regional patterns of vehicle-pedestrian crash data for disparities in New Jersey, comparing regional benchmarks against patterns observed in places of low-opportunity including the region’s racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty and communities of concern. It will also cover the Microscale Audit for Pedestrian Streetscape (MAPS) Mini tool, a tool that assesses the activity-friendliness of streets, sidewalks and crossings, and identifies specific features that are feasible to modify and related to physical activity.
Learning Objectives
- discuss how to analyze regional patterns of vehicle-pedestrian crash data for disparities
- highlight the MAPs Mini tool's development and components
- discuss how scores are related to physical activity
- show practitioners how to use the tool to document disparities in streetscape quality and engage community members in assessment as a basis for advocacy
