Counting Bicyclists and Pedestrians: Building Evidence for Active Transportation Webinar

Wednesday, July 24

3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Eastern

Course Credit: 1.5 PDH/ pending 1.5 CM

Many approaches and technologies for counting bicyclists and pedestrians exist, new technologies are being developed rapidly, and new information about the effectiveness of these new technologies is being published. This webinar will highlight information from a recently published brief, Counting Bicyclists and Pedestrians to Inform Transportation Planning, to show planners, engineers, and other practitioners the best available methods for estimating bicycle and pedestrian traffic in cities and towns. Experts will discuss tradeoffs among manual counts, infrared technologies, inductive loop counters, and others technologies and illustrate how counts can be used to estimate demand for facilities, the potential benefits of investments, and the need for traffic control modifications.

Learning Objectives:

1) Describe advantages and disadvantages of different methods of counting bicyclists and pedestrians
2) Describe variability in hourly, daily, monthly, and seasonal bicycle and pedestrian traffic patterns.
3) Explain the importance of integrating long-term continuous monitoring and short duration counts in effective traffic monitoring

Instructors:

Greg Lindsey, Ph.D., Professor, Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, US and Sherry Ryan, Ph.D., Professor of City Planning, School of Public Affairs, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA, USA and Jeffrey Riegner, Vice President, Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP, Wilmington, DE, USA (Webinar Facilitator)
