Feb. 11 (1:30-3 PM) Webinar: https://bikepedcountdataintexas_feb11.eventbrite.com
TxDOT and TTI are hosting a webinar on bicyclist and pedestrian count data – from beginning to end. Presenters will help answer questions like why collect count data, how to collect it, and what to do with it once it’s collected. The webinar is an overview of research findings from a recently concluded TxDOT/TTI research project. TxDOT will be offering full-day, in-person training on bicycle and pedestrian count data at four locations throughout Texas later in March and April.
The webinar will help participants better understand the details needed to begin collecting, managing, and using bicyclist and pedestrian count data at a local level. The data management and sharing capabilities of the Texas Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Exchange will be highlighted. TxDOT is interested in expanding the collection and use of bicycle and pedestrian data to better inform planning and project development decision-making statewide.
This webinar adds new and additional content to the April 2019 webinar on the Texas Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Exchange – see agenda below.
