Cycling is the most energy efficient mode of transportation. Bikes are critical for addressing climate change, and contribute to a more active population, safer streets, and lower household expenditures on transportation. Given this, understanding how existing cycling infrastructure is being used, including where and when, helps decision makers know what to invest in. This project does exactly that, counting cyclists and other active travel users in the city of Tempe across a whole day, and across the whole north of the city. Cycling in Tempe is already attractive in some areas of the city, but not others. The findings from this project were shared with stakeholders and community members in an interactive web map.
