A Multi-Pronged Approach to Cyclist and Pedestrian Counting
• DVRPC is initiating an improved program for bicycle and pedestrian counting
• The program will include both permanent, continuous counts and regularly-collected week-long counts
Source: EcoCounter
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

Continuous Automated Trail User Counting Program
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
CyclePhilly Smartphone Survey
• Smartphone-based bicycle route choice survey (app and website platform)
• Developed by a team of technical volunteers from Code for Philly using an open source platform developed by SFCTA and refined for other cities (Atlanta, Montreal, others)
• DVRPC providing planning guidance, branding, promo, and coordination (BCGP, MOTU, SEPTA, others)
• Our version is the best one yet!• Privacy enhancements• Bike to transit focus
• But…
CyclePhilly Smartphone Survey
• …success will depend on levels of participation
• First version available now on Apple App Store and on Android / Google Play
• We need your help:• Promo push for May 1-31 to get as
much visibility and participation across the region as possible
• Any promo assistance would be greatly appreciated!
