Executive Summary

Introduction
This 2018 Annual Report for the RTC Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Wheelchair Data Collection Program (“Program”) provides a detailed review of bicycling, walking and wheelchair use at key locations throughout Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County. This ongoing collection of active transportation data supplements data for motorized traffic and transit ridership data to develop a more complete picture of overall travel behavior in our communities. The data collection methodology, collection times, and analysis factors follow the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project (NBPDP).
Purpose
The primary purpose of the Program is to document trends in the number of people walking, using wheelchairs or mobility scooters, or riding bicycles on regional roads, including the year‐to‐year growth in activity, as well as the share of each active transportation mode at the comparison locations. The collected data assists transportation planners in evaluating performance measures and the return on active transportation and “complete streets” infrastructure investment, and helps identify and prioritize active transportation connectivity and safety improvements.
