A running board is a car or truck accessory part, a narrow step fitted under the side doors of the vehicle. It aids entry, especially into high vehicles. Typical of vintage cars which had much higher ground clearances than today's cars, it is also used as a fashion statement on vehicles that would not require it.[1]
Running boards may also be used to stand on while the vehicle is moving. They are also a reference to safety appliances for walking on rail cars.
