Active Transportation Count Dataset

The Pedestrian and Bicycle Count Dataset documents non motorized traffic on state highways, originating from Caltrans district pilots initiated in 2023 to monitor active transportation. Data is vendor-collected using technologies like video analytics, then shared with HQ via APIs or files for statewide standardization in CSV format. Core variables include Loc_id (site identifier), Date/Hour (timestamp), Direction, Count (integer volumes), and geospatial (latitude/longitude). Limitations include potential undercounts in adverse weather and incomplete coverage. This supports equity-focused planning under Complete Streets policies, with updates as pilots expand.
