Hi all,
This might be worth attending. Note the emphasis on MAP-21 performance
measures and the fact that the availability of ped/bike data is one of the
topics that US DOT solicited ideas about in terms of performance measures.

Coincidently, the dialogue concluded a few weeks before the signing of a
27-month authorization for surface transportation funding. Included in the
27-month funding authorization is language requiring the use of performance
management principles. The dialogue allowed FHWA to have a timely,
“no-harm” conversation with a diverse group of stakeholders on how the
transportation community can better use performance management principles. *
