Volunteer-collected counts are a critical component toward a set of comprehensive pedestrian data similar to the Bike Count data the City of Portland continues to collect. As a part of the NBPDP, this data will also contribute to a larger movement to collect, analyze, and understand pedestrian and bicycle behavior on a broad scale.
