Walking and biking are essential travel modes. Yet our roadways have primarily been designed for cars and trucks, while those on foot struggle to travel safely. But now agencies are increasingly focused on building infrastructure that supports active transportation travel.
To do so, transportation planners and operators need to understand bicycle and pedestrian travel patterns, which has been difficult to measure historically. StreetLight's new biking and walking data changes that, providing volumes and mode share on road segments throughout a community.
In this report, StreetLight rolls that data up to measure walking and biking miles traveled in U.S. cities. The report also highlights leading walking and cycling facilities across every state.
