Continuous Automated Trail User Counting Program
• DVRPC will install 12 permanent cyclist and pedestrian counting stations on multi-use trails
• The stations will record and report data continuously throughout the year
• DVRPC will use this data to calculate region-specific seasonal adjustment factors for application to week-long counts

Cyclical Bike Count Program
• What?• Ongoing measurement of bike
volumes in the DVRPC region (first of its kind)
• Weeklong counts using tubes (on- and off-road facilities)
• Why?• New seasonal adjustment factors will
permit better weeklong count data• Seek to improve regional travel
demand model• General gap in bike data: opportunity
to support your planning and ours• Building toward a new regional plan

Cyclical Bike Count Program
• When?• Saturation batch of counts in FY2015
(regional snapshot)• ~10 locations per county to be
selected as cyclical count stations, to be counted on a rolling 3-year cycle
• Next Steps:• Sought count location suggestions
(general or specific) for each county• We will review to ensure non-
redundancy and regional representativeness
