Bicycle and Pedestrian Automated Counts

Published by City of Washington, DC | District of Columbia | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 10:40 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 31, 2022 at 08:01 PM
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) maintains a system of automated counters to measure the number of people walking and biking. DDOT began installing these counters in 2014, and now has 18 in operation. Counters have been installed in both bicycle lanes and trails. One location counts only pedestrians; 10 locations count only bikes; and 7 locations count people biking and walking. DDOT monitors the continuous data stream to analyze trends in walking and biking, assess the value of its facility investments, and apply this data to plan for new bike lanes and trails. Data will sometimes contain errors or contain gaps because the dashboard presents "raw" data direct from the system server and the devices in the field.
