               The Walkability Audit for Woodbridge Township schools on May 30th was a booming success! Made even more so by the full, hearty support of township leaders and scores of parents and their children. It was truly an event that not only brought community members out of their homes, but brought them together as a community. Even more amazing were the small grade school children who were volunteering and giving back to their community with enthusiasm! It really comes to show that volunteerism is not limited to any age! Data collected during the audit has been showcased through an interactive map that shows how each area was accessed in terms of proper crosswalks, sidewalks, and traffic regulations.

Check out a cool video of the audit!
