Safe Roads - Walkable Westport Taskforce

Founded in 2022, the Safe Roads Task Force brings together community stakeholders to improve pedestrian and roadway challenges. On the heels of the Westport Chair Trail, “Slow with the Flow” and “Walkable Westport” public awareness campaigns and New York State Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee audit and recommendations in 2024, Safe Roads is organizing National Walking Month community events, a town-based "Bingo" scavenger hunt, infrastructure improvements where possible, and Safe Roads is a member of the Town's  planning advisory committee for 2025-26 comprehensive plan development. A more walkable Westport encourages residents to walk more often, creating a safer, greener, and healthier community.
