Sustain Charlotte

We’re going to do a mobility audit! We know it’s tax season, but don’t be scared by the word “audit”. This will be way more fun! About 76% of commutes in Charlotte are taken by people driving alone in their cars. To support a healthy environment and reduce pollution from cars, it’s important that more people feel safe walking, riding bikes, and riding public transit instead. Yet many streets in Charlotte have been designed almost exclusively for cars and it can be pretty challenging to get around on foot or by bike. You’ll help us solve this problem by hitting the streets of South End with us on foot. Armed with clipboards and pens, you’ll make observations and take notes about street conditions like “Is this sidewalk in good condition? Is there a way to safely cross the street? Would you feel comfortable walking here with a small child?”

1100 S Mint St, Suite 208, Charlotte, NC, 28203

There is a free small parking lot behind our building. Carpooling is encouraged since we share the lot with other tenants.

Dress for walking and the weather; may want sunglasses and/or hat.

Clipboards and audit forms. Restrooms and water are available at our office, where we’ll begin and end.

We will walk at a slow pace and stop frequently to make observations.

Projects will continue in light rain. In case of heavy rain or unsafe weather, the rain date is Friday, May 1st, same times.
