Action Plan

An action plan is based on the results of community surveys identifying needs within the 8 Domains of Livability that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. While there is flexibility in how a plan is created and what it will do, every action plan includes a statement about what can be achieved, target dates for goal completion, identification of participating organizations and indicators to measure progress. The action plan is an "active" rather than static document. Revisions and amendments are a sign of program improvement and progress.

City of Atlanta Department of Transportation (2024)

Atlanta, GA

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024

Project Category: Micromobility enhancements/management

Description: Sidewalk clutter from dockless scooters and bikes and illegal parking near crosswalks made walking hazardous, especially for older adults. To improve safety, the Department of Transportation installed 10 micromobility corrals in busy districts, using quick-build materials like flexposts, curbstops and bike racks. Many corrals doubled as daylighting measures, clearing sightlines and reducing illegal parking. The changes organized shared devices, freed sidewalks and made crossings safer, giving older adults more confidence to navigate city streets. The effort also sparked demand for more corrals and partnerships to expand the network citywide.
