Understanding where people walk and bike is critical to improving local walking and biking networks.
Collecting counts, conducting surveys, and developing inventories of field conditions by way of on-the-ground efforts or online engagement tools can provide insights into collision data, help track the performance of infrastructure projects and programs, and inform decision making processes. Alta combines a deep understanding of available data sources, data collection methods, and public engagement to create community-specific performance measures. Whether it’s setting up a process to evaluate progress towards statewide active transportation goals or measuring the day-to-day influence of a tactical urbanism project, we can help your community measure the performance of bicycle and pedestrian projects.
Alta is at the forefront of emerging count technologies that capture and process non-motorized data efficiently and economically, including physical sensors and mobile phone applications. Alta has been a leader in bicycle and pedestrian data collection for two decades, having developed the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project (NBPD), the first national database of non-motorized traffic counts.
