Documenting Pedestrian Infrastructure; Lessons from the Maryland Sidewalk Data Collaboration  

The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Environment and Sustainable Transportation Program is developing a geospatial dataset containing every sidewalk in the state of Maryland. This data will integrate with One Maryland One Centerline (OMOC), a comprehensive roadway dataset collaboratively developed by federal, state, and local entities to document roadway characteristics, routing information, traffic, transit services, bicycle infrastructure, and more. Adding pedestrian infrastructure to this dataset represents a substantial advancement towards OMOC comprehensively describing transportation infrastructure throughout the state. The webinar will discuss: - The current state of pedestrian data in Maryland, both in terms of the attributes it documents and methods of capture. - The results of a literature review and interviews with agencies across the country to understand the benefits and drawbacks of various sidewalk data capture and storage methods. - The schema developed to document pedestrian infrastructure data, and how it was developed. - Case studies, illustrating how this data provides planners and decision makers with a means of comparing and/or prioritizing projects, particularly as it relates to their expected impact on vulnerable populations.
