The excuses for not counting bikes and pedestrians, and incorporating that information into long range transportation planning, are dwindling. Eco Counter now makes and sells mobile counters that can distinguish between bikes and peds. I’m sure they’re not free, but until we’re counting everyone, then basing transportation infrastructure decisions, especially in the long term, on data that we have in abundance for motor vehicles, but for virtually no one else moving about the city, is unfair. If I were a lawyer, I’d wonder if it’s even constitutional. After all, police and fire and sewer and water and other delivery of services and utilities are not based on one’s transportation mode. chuck

Mobile Bike and Pedestrian Counter [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/80a80d2892/images/e953ef0f-1916-4e3e-a5fb-5bd1bcf334e7.jpg] The new Mobile MULTI combines two existing Eco-Counter products – PYRO infrared and TUBE sensors - to count pedestrians and cyclists and automatically differentiate their mode. The Mobile MULTI was developed to answer the growing need to simultaneously collect bike and pedestrian count data in a variety of configurations. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/80a80d2892/images/6f960445-6e02-49f3-ac15-0c99691b2845.png] The Mobile MULTI can be used to count pedestrians or cyclists independently, or together in mixed situations in a variety of on and off-street contexts. With a light, user-friendly and low-cost installation process, it is the ideal solution for temporary multi-use counting.

Permanent stations counting all three modes were installed at strategic funnel points, such as bridges and tunnels. This year, the city started a mobile count program - using Mobile-MULTIs and TUBE counters - to understand bike, pedestrian and vehicle volumes, in addition to peak travel times. Transportation planners will use the data to implement public campaigns encouraging active transportation, measure progress and justify future investments.
