Carolina Pedestrians - aka CPed.us was formed out of the need for a voice for  pedestrians.  Often the term Bike/Ped is used when discussing issues related to the built environment - but often the pedestrians don't really have a advocate as there aren't a lot of active pedestrian groups.  Carolina Pedestrians is a true pedestrian advocacy group for all pedestrians in South Carolina and North Carolina - filling the need - one step at a time!

So many roads have been built with no sidewalks, or cross walks are part of a well planned road upgrade but without an apparent timeline for finishing.  It sometimes seems like new crossing signals are forgotten - draped with burlap to wait another day, week or year before the unveiling!  

We at Carolina Pedestrians are here to help see that pedestrian friendly communities become a reality. Contacting cities and towns, to see that  the critical sidewalk linkages are included in the plans and that cross walks and crossing signals are not forgotten.  As well as working toward speed limit reductions in neighborhoods that don't have sidewalks, and educating people to look out for pedestrians - and for pedestrians to wear clothing that helps them be seen - all are part of the work that we do. Seeing where trees can be planted to help calm traffic and provide much needed shade.   We are just getting started - and have a long way to go - but with your help we can accomplish so much for so many!
