The key to safe bike routing? Understanding the volume and speed of vehicles on the road. That's why when Arlington County decided to create a data-driven, countywide "Bike Comfort Map" the team turned to StreetLight for data on 500 miles of roadway.

The new map revealed surprising insights and revised former bike safety ratings on key corridors. It also earned the buy-in of the public and avid cyclists.

Learn how using StreetLight enabled BikeArlington to:

  • Group 1171276721 Build a more accurate bike safety map based on defensible, objective data
  • Group 1171276721 Ensure metrics powering safety ratings were easy to compare and update each year
  • Group 1171276721 Develop a tool that could clarify connectivity gaps and inform future planning
