Walk Bike Safety Audits
The TPA wants to coordinate Walk Bike Safety Audits with our partners in the community. These audits help identify pedestrian and bicycle safety issues y being on the ground and experiencing the built environment first hand. Audits are planned in coordination with the municipality, roadway owners, and other stakeholder, like Palm Tran or the School District of Palm Beach County, in order to improve safety and access for people of all ages and abilities. After these audits are completed, the TPA and audit stakeholders work to evaluate recommendations and identify funding opportunities.

Many more improvements to keep cyclists safe can be made and the TPA looks forward to continue advocating for the safety of all roadway users.
