PEDS is a nonprofit advocacy organization focused on making streets and communities in Georgia more walkable. It partners with transportation agencies, neighborhood and business groups, police, and the media to promote pedestrian-friendly funding, policies, and street designs, acting as a voice for people who walk in the region. The organization has supported crosswalk innovations and organized workshops that educate transportation professionals on designing streets for pedestrian safety. It prioritizes safe bus-stop crossings and aims to improve driver compliance with speed limits and crosswalk laws through collaboration with law enforcement and media. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, it is a mid-sized nonprofit. In June 2021, PEDS merged with the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition.
