BIKE & PEDESTRIAN PLANNING ––
HATS REGIONAL BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN COUNTS:
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Spring 2022 HATS Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Program!
The counts, conducted exclusively by volunteers, provide vital data to our region's planners, decision makers and anyone else interested in making walking and biking safer and more convenient in the HATS Region. They are conducted as part of the National Bicycle & Pedestrian Documentation project.
The count locations are determined as a cooperative effort between HATS planning staff, the HATS Bike/Ped Task Force and other local stakeholders.
Watch this page for information about future Bike-Ped Counts!
