RFP: Proposed Update of the AASHTO Guide for the Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities
The objective of this research is to develop a proposed update of the AASHTO Guide for the Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities.
The updated Guide should generally follow the recommendations of NCHRP Project 20-07/Task 263. The work should be coordinated with the U.S. Access Board, the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and other relevant AASHTO committees. The research team should identify and coordinate with all relevant ongoing federal, state, and NCHRP initiatives. Safety and accessibility should be integrated throughout the Guide, not called out as separate topics. A different format or organization of the Guide may be proposed if the research team feels it is warranted. After completion of the proposed new Guide, the contractor will be required to address comments received during the AASHTO balloting process.
While the Guide should contain guidance for most situations, it should also outline decision-making processes and criteria that would assist agencies in identifying flexible solutions.
