If you’re interested in transportation, planning, and design, join Arlington County’s Vision Zero Program Manager Christine Baker and her team on a guided walk from Courthouse to Rosslyn. They’ll explain a variety of improvements the County has made to this busy corridor to increase safety for all people.

Baker has worked in Arlington County’s Transportation Engineering and Operations Bureau since 2017 and helped to launch the County’s Vision Zero program.

Vision Zero is an international movement that employs a multidisciplinary approach to achieving the goal of zero transportation-related deaths. It aims to achieve this goal through system-wide improvements instead of reactive responses to traffic deaths. Arlington County joined the Vision Zero Network in summer 2019 and hopes to achieve its goals by 2030.

All event attendees will receive a free Vision Zero T-shirt featuring the County’s safety mascot, the Cautionary Snail.

Getting There
We’ll begin our walk at the Court House Metro station. Look for us and our sign above ground at the Metro station entrance on Courthouse Plaza, near the AMC movie theater and the Ellen M. Bozman Government Center. The walk will end in Rosslyn. Click here for trip planning information.

Accessibility
People of all ages and abilities are welcome. This walk will take about 1 1/2 hours. We will walk approximately one mile, one way. We will have an opportunity to sit during the walk.

If you have questions about accessibility or need to request a reasonable accommodation, please email info@walkarlington.com or call Mary Dallao at 703-597-7298 by April 1, 2025.

If you need to leave before the walk is officially over for whatever reason, that’s okay! We are happy to have you along for as much time as you can spend.
