About the Project
The WalkFirst project will identify key walking streets throughout San Francisco and establish a criteria to prioritize pedestrian improvements in order to improve pedestrian safety and walking conditions, encourage walking, and enhance pedestrian connections to key destinations.
This project builds on the Better Streets Plan, a comprehensive set of pedestrian-oriented policies and design guidelines for public San Francisco’s streets and sidewalks, and coordinates with other efforts to improve the City’s streets and transportation system. The project will be consistent with the City’s adopted plans and policies, and will carry forward ideas put forward in other plans.
Key Work Products
- A citywide map of key pedestrian streets and zones
- Criteria for prioritizing pedestrian improvements
- Up to five case study and concept designs
- A capital project list of recommended pedestrian improvements for those case studies
- Draft General Plan policies relating to walking and the pedestrian environment
- Walking Strategies for input into the San Francisco Transportation Plan.
& Staff Contact
WalkFirst is a collaborative effort between the San Francisco Department of Public Health, San Francisco Planning Department, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and San Francisco County Transportation Authority. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

- Existing Conditions Basemaps
The Existing Conditions Base Maps illustrate factors that contribute to where people walk. These pedestrian activity factors will help us figure out where people currently walk in the city (where there are high levels of pedestrian activity), and where they would be likely to walk where good pedestrian conditions exist.
These maps will be used to help us develop a map of key walking streets in San Francisco, and identify which streets or areas should be included on this map. When combined with data about pedestrian safety and physical street conditions, the map of key walking streets will help us to prioritize pedestrian improvements in the city.
The maps are organized by category: Access/Need to Walk; Transit Ridership; Density of People; Pedestrian Generators; Demographics; Street Slope; Income
