The Bicycle and Pedestrian Data Subcommittee of the Transportation Research Board invites you to join in a conversation with colleagues about bicycle and pedestrian counting programs at the state level. This conversation will build on recent presentations about state programs at the June NaTMEC meeting. Objectives of this discussion-centric conversation are:
• To provide an overview of what a handful of states have done;
• To discuss what's next in state programs, including opportunities and challenges; and
• To build the community of practitioners and researchers who are advancing the nonmotorized traffic monitoring field.
The majority of the time will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions and to discuss their experiences with collecting, archiving, and using bicycle and pedestrian counts. Members of the Bike and Ped Data Subcommittee will facilitate the conversation. Participants will include:
• Host: Sirisha Kothuri, Ph.D., Research Associate, Portland State University
• Panelists:
o Blythe Carter, Bicycle & Pedestrian Data Technician, Institute for Transportation Research and Education at North Carolina State University
o Nathan Hicks, AICP, Transportation Planner, CDM Smith
o Peter Ohlms, AICP, Research Scientist, Virginia Transportation Research Council
o Jordan Whisler, AICP, Active Transportation & Local Safety Manager, Ohio Department of Transportation
o Edward Potter, Transportation Planner, Michigan Department of Transportation
o Kenneth Brubaker, PE, Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Engineer, Colorado Department of Transportation
