2018 San Mateo County Bicycle and Pedestrian Count September 11-16
Emma Shlaes
See below for a note from San Mateo County's Office of Sustainability. This is an excellent effort that provides good data for cities across the county to help when the cities apply for grant funding or consider new projects. Share with your friends!
The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation (NBPD) Project is a nationwide effort to provide data collection and ongoing data for use by planners, governments, and the general public. For 2018, the count period is September 11th — 16th. The County of San Mateo needs dedicated volunteers like you to help with the in-field data collection component. This means that you get to be outside enjoying a couple of hours in the beautiful, mid-peninsula weather while recording those who walk and bike past. Each shift is two hours and you can indicate your location and time preferences.
How to participate:
- Register here: goo.gl/forms/XlPrESpJG32DbVNw1 After registering, we will send a volunteer packet via email with your assigned count locations and times based on your noted preferences (allow up to two weeks for this).
- Attend the training webinar or view the webinar recording. The live webinar is currently scheduled for August 30th from 12pm to 12:30pm. A recording of the webinar will be available early September.
- Count at your designated site, date and time.
- Send results to the Office of Sustainability within 72 hours of your last count date.
