Counts Pilot Program: Webinar #4 - Preparing and Analyzing Data

Nov 20, 2015

 

Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Technology Deployment Pilot Program (2015-2016)

Improving data resources to support bicycle and pedestrian investments is a focus area for FHWA. The Bicycle-Pedestrian Count Technology Pilot Project is a research and technology deployment effort to identify organizational and technical capacity needs at MPOs, develop resources for addressing these needs, and transfer lessons learned across the country. The end result will increase the capacity of Metropolitan Planning Organizations to establish and operate bicycle and pedestrian counting programs. The project is being conducted with the direct participation of ten MPOs with other interested MPOs shadowing the project.

The project funded the purchase of a limited number of automatic counters used to collect counts of bicyclists and pedestrians at various locations within each MPO planning area, and provided limited funds to compensate some of the cost of staff time to initiate and oversee a counting program for deploying the counters, collecting counts, and analyzing the results. The participating MPOs had access to a series of internal webinars and other technical assistance opportunities. These webinars are edited and provided on this webpage.
