The Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project is a coordinated effort between the Washington State Department of Transportation, Cascade Bicycle Club, local jurisdictions and volunteers to count and document bicycle and pedestrian usage of specific intersections and facilities throughout the state. September is the accepted annual national bicycle and pedestrian count period; the annual WSDOT count period is often conducted later in September or early in October to coincide with the peak periods for walking and bicycling for work and school-related trips in Washington State. The State Counts are conducted on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, during the morning and afternoon peak travel times. Mid-week days have been selected for the State Counts to capture a representative time period for commute trips across the region. The time period for conducting the a.m. count is between 7 and 9 and between 4 and 6 for the p.m. count. The morning and afternoon peak periods were chosen since they typically have the largest volume of travelers, with commuters, school children and people running errands. To reduce the chance that data are skewed by weather and to offer flexibility for volunteers, three dates are provided for volunteers to choose from. Although three dates are provided, data are only collected at each location on one of the three dates. The a.m. and the p.m. count can occur on different days.For more information on the Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, click here.For more information about this map, contact Online Map Support at OnlineMapSupport@wsdot.wa.gov.
