• Abstract:
  The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) currently has very limited count data on pedestrian and bicyclist usage of the transportation system. This lack of pedestrian and bicyclist count data affects transportation decision-making, including planning, design, and safe traffic operations. The first objective of this research project was to recommend a count-monitoring process for pedestrians and bicyclists that can be sustained statewide. The second objective was to develop a consolidated database of pedestrian and bicyclist counts using data from the two pilot locations, along with readily available pedestrian and bicyclist count data from other locations.
