We want nothing less than to make San Francisco the most pedestrian-friendly city in the United States.

What does our vision look like?
-Exceptional pedestrian safety infrastructure that serves all people in every part of the city.
-No more severe or fatal traffic crashes. None.
-Equitable streets. This means everyone – of every age and ability – should be able to get around safely, easily, and affordably. It also means prioritizing the people and places that have been left behind or discounted for too long with street safety improvements.
-A people-centered transportation system, not a car-centered transportation system.
-More car-free streets and spaces.
-Astounding numbers of people walking to get to school, to work, to play, to everywhere – because it’s that safe and inviting!

Not only is this vision possible, achieving it is paramount for our growing city. San Francisco’s future as a healthy, equitable, climate-friendly, and competitive city depends on it. Everyone wins when we have safe streets for all.

To achieve our vision, we work in a range of ways with diverse partners. This includes:

-Our campaigns to fix the city’s most dangerous streets.
-Our Safe Routes for All work, which focuses on safer streets for children, seniors, people with disabilities, and transit riders.
-Our advocacy for bold city and state policies that support and protect pedestrians in San Francisco.

Walk SF works in the interest of all pedestrians in San Francisco, but prioritizes our work in order to address the needs of people who are disproportionately affected by pedestrian safety issues. This includes children, communities of color, people with disabilities, and seniors.

Our commitment to ending inequities in traffic violence also guides our campaigns which focus on fixing the city’s most dangerous streets. Of all severe and fatal crashes in San Francisco, 75% happen on only 13% of our streets – and certain groups are more likely to live on or near high-injury corridors.
