It Takes a Community to Change a Community
Best Foot Forward is rooted in building a shared culture of respect for safety in crosswalks—one that empowers communities to create safer places for everyone to cross.
That culture is shaped by the people who use these streets every day. By inviting residents, neighborhood groups, and local leaders into the conversation, Best Foot Forward helps identify crossing concerns, share local insight, and support solutions that reflect real-world conditions. Creating safer, more predictable crossings is a shared effort, and progress depends on ongoing community involvement.
Here are a few ways you can get involved and help support safer crossings in your community.
Invite Best Foot Forward to Speak or Present
The Best Foot Forward Community Outreach team is always looking for new opportunities to spread the message of pedestrian safety and Florida’s driver yield law. Invite Best Foot Forward to your community event, or ask us to give a presentation to your local neighborhood or homeowners’ group. Best Foot Forward also offers speakers and safety presentations for schools, both public and private.
Suggest a Crosswalk
Is there a particularly dangerous crosswalk near you? Maybe it’s right outside your neighborhood. Maybe you drive past it on your way to work. Maybe you have to use it in order to go to the grocery store or the gas station.
Best Foot Forward is always interested in taking suggestions for future crosswalks to monitor. Contact us and tell us the exact location, and what makes it so dangerous.
No one knows the streets like the people who live in the community.
Volunteer Opportunities
With high-quality education as one of Best Foot Forward’s core tenets, community outreach and involvement are crucial to program success. Help us help your community by volunteering.
