Announced in February 2024, the Pedestrian Working Group, organized by OpenStreetMap U.S., is composed of volunteers who are collaborating to develop guidelines and tools for detailed pedestrian infrastructure mapping.

Get Involved!

The Pedestrian Working Group meets via Zoom on every third Tuesday of the month from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET (convert). To join those meetings, fill out this OSM US Working Group registration form. Copies of the agendas for each meeting are available at PWG Meetings.

Ongoing discussion also happens on the OSM US Slack. Relevant channels include #sidewalks, and the private channel for the Pedestrian Working Group.

PWG Guide

The PWG Guide walks through the same tiered system and mapping guidelines in a quick-start format, aimed at people who are newer to pedestrian infrastructure mapping rather than at those needing the full tagging reference (like the PWG Schema).

Latest Release

The latest release of the PWG Guide is available at Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Pedestrian_Working_Group/Guide or through the redirect PWG Guide.

Draft Page

The Draft page, which functions as a collaborative pre-release workspace for the upcoming version, is available at Draft:Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Pedestrian_Working_Group/Guide or through the redirect PWG Guide Draft.

The corresponding Discussion page for the Draft page, which is used for staging updates and opening discussions on issues and suggestions, is available at Talk:Draft:Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Pedestrian_Working_Group/Guide or through the redirect PWG Guide Talk.

The Draft page may be compared to the latest release to view upcoming changes at Compare: PWG Guide and PWG Guide Draft.

Versioned Snapshots

For each release of the PWG Guide, versioned snapshot subpages are created:

PWG Schema

A tagging schema for pedestrian infrastructure mapping developed by the Pedestrian Working Group. It covers sidewalks, crossings, curbs, islands, and access aisles, using a tiered system (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) that indicates which tags and features are needed for different use cases and levels of imagery/survey quality.

Latest Release

The latest release of the PWG Schema is available at Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Pedestrian_Working_Group/Schema or through the redirect PWG Schema.

Draft Page

The Draft page, which functions as a collaborative pre-release workspace for the upcoming version, is available at Draft:Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Pedestrian_Working_Group/Schema or through the redirect PWG Schema Draft.
