Metro, Portland\u27s regional governing agency, conducts annual two-hour counts along its regional trail every September. This upcoming fall (2017) will be the 10th year that the counts have been held, which means we at Metro can finally start seeing noticeable, long-lasting trends in the regional trail network. Perhaps more importantly, we are seeing how these data have directly impacted investments in future trail, bicycle, and pedestrian projects.
This seminar will cover the history of the program, details of how it\u27s conducted and why it\u27s conducted that way, how data are used (including an inside look at future iterations of Metro\u27s interactive trail count map), and why creating local extrapolation factors for adjusting to annual traffic is so important.https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/trec_seminar/1123/thumbnail.jp
