About Walkable Tulsa

In response to the University of North Carolina’s Highway Safety Research Center’s request for community involvement and education of A Resident’s Guide for Creating Safe and Walkable Communities, INCOG and The Pearl District Association created WalkableTulsa.com. The purpose of this Web site is to inform citizens about programming, the Resident’s Guide and other local contact information of officials responsible for pedestrian facilities.  Citizens can request speakers to talk with their neighborhood associaiton about pedestrian treatments and traffic calming measures that might be useful to their commuinity through the Speaker's Bureau page.  There is also a Countermeasure Selection System that is provided by the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center to  allow citizens to explore treatments that might be appropriate for thier situation. 

About the Alliance for an Accessible City

The Alliance for an Accessible City came together initially to resolve a long-standing concern for the health and safety of people with physical challenges in the hostile pedestrian environment at Utica Avenue, between 11th. St. and 3rd. St. in Tulsa, Oklahoma. For years, many of these sidewalks have been in dreadful condition or non-existent therefore, community members involved with the Pearl District Association and Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges set forth to develop the Alliance. The simple act of walking - be it to school, to work, to the grocery store, or for pleasure or exercise - will play a fundamental part in turning Tulsa into a sustainable city.  To make the act of ‘getting around’ simple for the physically challenged, for the elderly and for children is a basic civic duty to our own residents, to visitors and to future generations.  For more on the Alliance for an Accessible City, visit their page.
