WalkWise Tampa Bay
A grassroots initiative is providing innovative pedestrian safety education to the citizens of Tampa Bay. Pedestrian safety is an issue that affects everyone. We are all pedestrians at some point during our day. Whether walking through a parking lot after shopping, walking from home or work to a vehicle, walking for exercise or simply walking to enjoy a beautiful Florida day, you are a pedestrian.
Now is the time to learn pedestrian skills that will help increase the safety of our entire community. Join our efforts and request a free Pedestrian Safety Presentation for your business, association, church, school or group. The WalkWise campaign provides an informative and conversational free 15-minute presentation with time for discussion to anyone living or working in Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties. Each attendee will receive a WalkWise Tampa Bay reflective bag after the presentation. After taking the WalkWise pledge, each individual is named to our growing list of WalkWise Ambassadors.
WalkWise Tampa Bay is managed by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at USF and funded by the FDOT District 7.
