OpenSidewalks

OpenSidewalks (OSW) is an initiative led by the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology (TCAT) at the University of Washington (UW).

OpenSidewalks seeks to provide a specification that is not only compatible with OpenStreetMap but is a comprehensive and accessibility-forward specification for mapping sidewalks and related pedestrian infrastructure features.

Additional details about this project can be found here on the TCAT Wiki.

OpenSidewalks Schema

The OpenSidewalks Schema is an open pedestrian transportation network data standard which draws from and is intended to be largely compatible with OpenStreetMap data.

Additional information about the schema can be found here on the TCAT Wiki.

Organised Editing Activities

The OpenSidewalks organization on the OSM US Tasking Manager is used for coordinating contributions to OSM following OSW mapping guidelines and most OSW projects are open to contributions from all OSM users.
