Walkers should register in Emorys Walk program to receive special incentives and the more participants that are registered in the program, the more influence Emory will have with local agencies in petitioning for wider sidewalks, additional crosswalks and maybe even lockers and showers at your worksite.

How do I apply?
A.
Walkers must complete the bike/walk form . Forms are also available at the Transportation Services Office in the Clairmont campus deck; the Parking and Community Services Office, Lowergate deck; and at Human Resources, 1599 Clifton Road.
Q.
