Bicycle Counting Program
In an effort to better measure bicycling in the Region, in 2013 MVRPC began exploring a Bicycle Counting Program. The first cycle of the program (2014-2016) has now been completed and the results are summarized in the Technical Report.
Bike and trail users counts have also been added to the online traffic and trail count viewer or can be seen on the maps below.

- Map 2 Regional Bikeway Estimated Annual Total and ADT Averages
- Map 3 Short Term Bike Counts
Trail counts are being collected from partnering trail management agencies, which have permanent trail counters installed at numerous locations on the regional bikeway network. Additionally, short-term studies will be performed with automatic bicycle counters. MVRPC staff will install these counters at strategic locations on the bikeway, roads and bike lanes for 7 days to measure bicycle traffic. MVRPC members can also checkout an automatic bicycle counter to perform similar short-term studies in their areas.
