Active Transportation Counts

The ATRC is spearheading the efforts to guide the collection of user counts for active transportation projects.

Interim Count Guidance

The ATP requires bike and pedestrian user counts as the project evaluation metric. The Interim Count Methodology Guidance is intended to instruct awardees on how to do counts to meet the minimum expectations for the evaluation requirements of the ATP, until a final Statewide Count Guidance is developed.
