PPACG, in cooperation with the City of Colorado Springs, is sponsoring a Fall 2011 volunteer-based traffic count program to record bicycle and pedestrian traffic on trails and bicycle lanes around the region. The data collected helps to quantify the level of usage of the community’s bicycle and pedestrian transportation facilities. This data can be used to estimate existing use as well as future demand on these facilities. It can also help identify and prioritize project needs and the limited resources available to implement bicycle and pedestrian improvements.

The first traffic count was completed in September 2010, the second was completed in May 2011, and the third was completed in July 2011.

The counting will take place on Sept. 10, 14 and 17.
