It's for free, and we would like to have a contact for our network in each country as soon as possible

If you share the goals of the International Charter for Walking (see About us), you may become a member of IFP.

There are two types of members:

Voting members of IFP are organisations and institutions independent from political parties and whose primary or most important activities correspond with the goals of IFP. As for now, we welcome local pedestrian associations as well as national ones as voting members. (The board can restrict the number of member organisations of one country which are voting members.) Organisations that deal with pedestrian issues only as a minor part of their activity (e.g. bicycle and environment organisations) should become associated members.

For more details see the membership conditions:

Associate members are any other organisations, institutions, and individuals who share IFP’s goals, and wish to support its work in any way. They receive information but have no duties or obligations, except for not being active against the goals of IFP.

This is how you become a member:

How to Create a New Voting Member

IFP members are voting members only if there is an organisation (usually an association) that names a person to vote on behalf of the group. If you want to be a voting member you should become Founder of a new pedestrian group. That is not a diffcult thing to do if you have a network of friends and other people interested in walking. The Pedestrian Association of New Zealand Living Streets Aotearoa (link) has published a brochure with lots of ideas on how to go about to create a new group. Here it is:

Moreover, there is a description of how the Pedestrian Association of New Zealand has developed. May be this will encourage you to become Founder of a National Organisation. There are still more than a hundred countries that don't have a pedestrian organisation!

What can IFP do for you?

IFP is a network of experts and other persons and institutions interested in improving the situation of pedestrians. You may profit from the knowledge of others. Ask any question, and we shall try to find an adequate answer among our members.

What can you do for IFP?

If you register, you will get the information on the themes you have chosen when you register.
You may send us information, links and articles on pedestrian issues for the publication on the website, if they are of international interest.

Your address is for internal use only, but the e-mail address will be sent to anyone who likes to contact you (the members in your country or the members with your field of interest). - Your data won't be used for any other purpose than communication among IFP-members. Your information on your fields of interest is used to send e-mails specific to your interest.
