Livable Communities
Make your neighborhood more walkable and safe. Join AARP New York’s Taking it to the Streets: Improving Pedestrian Safety effort to share the state of your neighborhood’s sidewalks and intersections. In just 10 minutes, you can do a walk audit and help spark change in your community.
This month, AARP New York is encouraging volunteers across the state to conduct walk audits in their communities. It's part of a broader effort to increase pedestrian safety and boost neighborhood walkability.
Communities around New York are working to make themselves more livable for residents of all ages. The state was the first to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, and an additional 32 individual counties and communities are members as well.
