Counts:
Before the Count
This short presentation provides background for organizations interested in
collecting active transportation count information for studies, grant
applications, and long term monitoring. SCAG is working with Caltrans and
local county partners to improve suggestions and will update this
presentation as new information becomes available.

Regional Bikeway Shapefile Project
SCAG is working with partners in each of its six counties to develop a
standardized bicycle shapefile detailing the existing and planned bicycle
routes within the region. Validation of the data is being done through one
on one interviews with each of the cities. SCAG plans to develop a
crowdsourcing application to allow additional input on the product. The
current shapefile is available on
SCAG's GIS Open Data Portal
. SCAG expects to update this file annually or when significant planning
activities are completed. The data dictionary details the desired metadata
that should be collected as part of active transportation planning projects
and provided to SCAG upon completion. Finally, SCAG will provide this file
on a bi-annual basis to third party mapping companies such as Google to
inform their products.
