Walk San Francisco and its members are making it more safe -- and more fun! -- to walk in the city. We work with city agencies, elected officials, residents, and businesses to improve streets and public spaces for everyone to enjoy. This year, Walk SF made San Francisco the biggest city in California to create 15-mile-per-hour school zones citywide, calming traffic around over 180 schools.
