Welcome to the website for the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Standing Committee on Pedestrians (ACH10).
This Committee is concerned with research on pedestrians and pedestrian facilities that will provide safe, comfortable, and efficient walking environments along sidewalks, along and across roadways, and connecting to other modes of transportation. The Committee addresses the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of roadways as they affect use of public rights-of-way by pedestrians. The Committee aims to integrate pedestrian considerations into broader transportation issues.
This Committee is chaired by Dr. Kevin Manaugh, Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Bieler School of Environment at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. See a list of Committee Members on the official TRB site.
