Bicycle & Pedestrian Counting Pilot 2022

2022 marked SRPC’s pilot year for creating a programmed rotation of bicycle and pedestrian counts on the region’s trails and sidewalks. The goal of the pilot was to measure use of these sites. The pilot will determine require frequent, semi-frequent, or occasional counts. User volume data can be a deciding factor in the funding of improvements to local infrastructure. Municipalities and other SRPC partners are encouraged to use information about the 45 surveyed sites for their own planning and project efforts. Residents can use this information to understand the foot traffic of their communities and are encouraged to reach out with questions and suggestions for future count locations. SRPC will be using the data gathered in the drafting of the newest Active Transportation Plan, coming in Summer 2023.
