Hello,
We would like to share this resource with you: Counting Bicyclists and Pedestrians to Inform Transportation Planning
This brief describes a number of technologies for counting bicycles and pedestrians and the benefits and challenges associated with different approaches. It also explains how counting data can be used to inform transportation planning,
presents trends in levels of bicycle and pedestrian activity, and illustrates one goal of non-motorized traffic monitoring, namely, estimating bicycle and pedestrian traffic on streets in cities and towns.
You can also find several other resources on our website to help you create more physically active and healthier communities. For example, check out our
colorful, eye-catching infographic on the role of transportation in promoting walking and biking.
Please share with your organization, colleagues, and networks. Do let me know if you have feedback or any questions!
Thank you,
Debbie
