WALKArlington is an initiative of Arlington County, Virginia - where people have many options for moving about their community.



Ultimately, WALKArlington is an effort to build on an existing partnership between Arlington citizens, businesses and County staff to encourage more people to walk more often.



Because walking is good exercise, it's convenient, it's good for the environment and business, and it makes for a good community.



But most importantly, we believe that people will WANT to "walk Arlington" when walking is simply the most enjoyable way of getting around.



A Multi-faceted Program

WALKArlington will come to life through the combined efforts of many-from Moms and Dads advocating for safe routes to schools, to developers and County staff building safer intersections, to business owners, public artists and urban designers, park planners and event planners working to create destinations of special character that serve as magnets for walkers.
