Walking and rolling are the lifelines of our community and impact access to jobs and essential services.
Richmond’s Department of Transportation prioritizes walking for residents and visitors.
Community surveys continue to show that Richmonders want:
- Continuous tree-lined sidewalks that are level and provide safe access to popular City destinations
- Dignified places to wait to access reliable, frequent transit
- Drivers to slow down and stop for people crossing the street
- Their government to collaborate to obtain resources to improve infrastructure and safety culture
This feedback is pivotal in enhancing sidewalk access to transit services for people with disabilities, ensuring these services reach every neighborhood, especially those historically overlooked.
These are important connections for people who walk or roll along city streets. Each voice matters in helping to create a more inclusive, thriving Richmond.
