NATIONAL WALKING SUMMIT IN ST LOUIS MARCH 10-11 

Join America Walks, the Missouri Bike/Ped Federation and dozens of other sponsors on March 10th and 11th in St. Louis for a packed program of panel discussions, "learning from place," mobile workshops, and keynotes and the National Walking Summit. 

Dozens of local agencies and organizations have teamed up with AmericaWalks to create the National Walking Summit in St Louis March 10-11, 2020

Walking has the power to do many things: improve health, provide access, increase social engagement. What each of these has in common is the ability to build connections, with oneself, with friends, family, and neighbors, with one’s community. The National Walking Summit- St. Louis will explore how walking and walkability connects communities to overcome barriers, bridge divides, and address inequities that exist because of the legacies of injustices.

As we explore Connecting Communities, Overcoming Barriers, we must use our experiences to inform how we look forward to creating communities that are safe, accessible, equitable, and inviting to all who want to live, play and work there. The program will be organized in a series of tracks focused on what it takes to achieve connected communities.
