  4.

  6. Cyclical Bike Count Program • What? • Ongoing measurement of bike volumes in the DVRPC region (first of its kind) • Weeklong counts using tubes (on- and off-road facilities) • Why? • New seasonal adjustment factors will permit better weeklong count data • Seek to improve regional travel demand model • General gap in bike data: opportunity to support your planning and ours • Building toward a new regional plan

  7. Cyclical Bike Count Program • When? • Saturation batch of counts in FY2015 (regional snapshot) • ~10 locations per county to be selected as cyclical count stations, to be counted on a rolling 3-year cycle • Next Steps: • Sought count location suggestions (general or specific) for each county • We will review to ensure non-redundancy and regional representativeness

CyclePhilly Smartphone Survey • Smartphone-based bicycle route choice survey (app and website platform) • Developed by a team of technical volunteers from Code for Philly using an open source platform developed by SFCTA and refined for other cities (Atlanta, Montreal, others) • DVRPC providing planning guidance, branding, promo, and coordination (BCGP, MOTU, SEPTA, others) • Our version is the best one yet! • Privacy enhancements • Bike to transit focus • But…

  9. CyclePhilly Smartphone Survey • …success will depend on levels of participation • First version available now on Apple App Store and on Android / Google Play • We need your help: • Promo push for May 1-31 to get as much visibility and participation across the region as possible • Any promo assistance would be greatly appreciated! www.cyclephilly.org
