COAST
Here are a few things I've created for the Coalition for Sustainable Transportation (COAST) and the Safe Routes To School program...
- School walking guides
-
These maps show suggested walking routes to school, walking paths, and
walking time isochrons (lines of constant walking time). The idea is
to encourage walking by showing it to be possible and even easy.

Walk Score will return a
"walkability score" between 0 (cars only) and 100 (walkers' paradise)
for a given address. Although its algorithm is a little simplistic
(it doesn't take into account presence of sidewalks, for example), its
results, in aggregate, seem intuitively good. As evidence of this,
below is a walkability map for Santa Barbara. Hat tip to Lee
Byron for the idea.
