Walking Works Sample Clauses

Walking Works. This case study presents a national campaign, with secure funding, led on a larger scale than ours. Another difference is the walking culture, already well developed in UK. However, there is a number of things we find useful for our project. These are: • detailed description of objectives, almost identical to ours, • description of stages we find very useful in the development of our “walking to work” campaign, • list of tasks by Living Streets which is very similar to the tasks of our own Active Access team, accepted after a meeting with interested workplaces. Our “Walk to Work Week” is a local event already in the scope of EMW campaign. The positive feedback has singled out 5 organisations we will be focusing our AA activities on.

Walking Works. We can implement “walking to work” if the distance between home and work is up to 2 km, not more. I think this case study is the most difficult to implement, but Tartu needs to take action because most of our inhabitants use cars for short distances and we have no room for cars in the city centre. We will therefore consider the process and lessons learnt from this project in looking into implementing a similar scheme in Tartu.

Walking Works. Though the Walking Works project is not very close to our application, the method of involving workplaces is quite similar to the one we plan with shopkeepers (initial meeting, joint signing of a memorandum, collecting baseline data and continuous support from our team towards shopkeepers) and thus can give us good guidance on how to do it.

Walking Works. The Walking Works campaign example also fits with what we want to do in this application. The process will be nearly the same: we want to do one global presentation to all the enterprises interested and then individual meetings to examine their profile and help them with their questions. The first steps are good examples. We also work on the setting up of a walking plan for an association of enterprises which could exactly fit to this.

Walking Works. Although our activities are not aimed at promoting walking to work, some of the methods used are helpful for promoting walking at schools. The idea of the “walking champion” described in Walking Works project could be used to promote walking or could be altered to “cycling champion” to promote cycling at schools.

Walking Works. This project tries to engage the active population to walk to and from work. Not being the focus of the Aveiro project we might consider to engage the actual shopkeepers to park and walk from their cars. It is fair to assume that some of the illegally parked cars are from the shopkeepers themselves. It is also possible that shopkeepers can be commuters of rather short distances and therefore with potential to walk to work or to park-and-walk to their shops and restaurants.
