State and local transportation agencies have established bicycle and pedestrian traffic monitoring programs to generate traffic data needed to plan, design, construct, and maintain non-motorized infrastructure. These agencies typically have not cited the need to assess changes in traffic associated with a deadly global pandemic as a rationale for monitoring, but data from these monitoring networks can provide insights into trends and changes associated with exogenous shocks to transportation systems such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers have reported surges in bicycling and walking during the pandemic, but few have described these changes in the context of longer-term trends. |
