Walking SA’s vision is to see more people walking more often.

Quality footpaths: Pedestrian infrastructure that encourages people to walk
We need a pedestrian environment that encourages and not discourages people to walk to local destinations. Footpaths are fundamental to people’s ability to walk about in urban areas including to and from public transport. The quality of the pedestrian environment indicates much we value walking in our society. Indeed, it is a key marker on how civilized and sophisticated a society is.
