PITTSBURGH, PA – [October 27, 2025] – pathVu, the leading provider of sidewalk accessibility and infrastructure data solutions, announced today the launch of pathVu Navigation Lite, a web application designed to transform how communities conduct walk audits and assess pedestrian infrastructure. Set to launch next month, the innovative platform features an intuitive customer dashboard that identifies sidewalk and curb ramp availability, condition, and obstacles in real time.
pathVu Navigation Lite empowers urban planners and accessibility advocates to collect accurate, actionable data that drives informed decision-making and improves mobility for all pedestrians. The intuitive web-based platform makes it easier than ever to conduct thorough walk audits without the need for complex equipment or extensive training.
“We’re excited to introduce pathVu Navigation Lite as a powerful tool that provides access to current sidewalk infrastructure data,” said Eric Sinagra, CEO of pathVu. “Communities and non-profits conducting walk audits now have a streamlined, efficient way to collect the real data they need to prioritize improvements, secure funding, and create safer, more accessible environments for everyone.”

- Real-Time Data Collection: Capture and document sidewalk conditions, curb ramp compliance, and accessibility barriers during walk audits
- Evidence-Based Decision Making: Leverage data to prioritize infrastructure improvements, allocate budgets effectively, and justify grant applications
- Enhanced Mobility Planning: Identify critical gaps in pedestrian networks to improve accessibility and walkability for all community members
- ADA Compliance Support: Document compliance issues and track progress toward meeting Americans with Disabilities Act requirements
The launch of pathVu Navigation Lite, powered by ArcGIS, provides a user-friendly solution for walk audits. pathVu continues its mission to put sidewalks on the map and ensure safe, accessible pedestrian pathways for everyone. During the launch phase, pathVu Navigation Lite will be available at no cost for non-profits.
