Do a sidewalk audit
A sidewalk audit is a short trip where you write down what makes a street easy or hard to get along. You can walk, use a wheelchair, walker or cane, or push a stroller. It turns "this street is hard to get around" into problems someone can fix. Anyone can do one, and you don't need any training.
Step 1: Pick a short stretch you know
Pick about 15 minutes of a trip you make often, such as the way from home to your nearest bus stop. Do it in daylight, however you usually get along it.
Go alone or bring a friend. Can't get out? You can still write down what you already know about a route you use.
Step 2: Note each problem and where it is
Record each problem however works for you: a photo, a voice memo, or a written note on paper or your phone. For each one, note where it is (the nearest address or the cross streets) and what's wrong.
Look for a missing or broken sidewalk; something blocking the path; a corner with no curb ramp, or a ramp that's too steep or broken; a corner with no bumpy warning strip for people who are blind or have low vision; a crossing signal with no sound, or too little time to cross; no shade; and a bus stop with no bench, no shelter, or no room to wait with a wheelchair or stroller.
Photograph the problem, not people, and stay on the sidewalk or curb. Never stand in the road.
Step 3: Share what you found
Email your photos, voice memos or notes to wwd@lasvegasfortransit.org. If you use Instagram, you can also post them and tag @lasvegasfortransit.
Las Vegans for Better Transit uses these reports to advocate for safer streets and bus stops.
