3 Overview This report documents bicycle and pedestrian count data collected by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and other organizations in This effort was to supplement ongoing annual volunteer count data in the region. In addition, this report highlights other count efforts such as the efforts by transit agencies to collect bike count on bus information and bike rack usage data. This data provides a better picture of regional bicycle and pedestrian travel across the Puget Sound region. PSRC is working with regional partners and other organizations to better coordinate around data collection and distribution. This report describes efforts underway to obtain more consistent data. With the increasing importance of bicycle and pedestrian travel for health and mobility purposes, coordination around the collection and sharing of data will lead to better planning and monitoring of bicycle and pedestrian activity across the region. The data in this report will be a part of a validation data set for the regional travel demand model and used for other bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts at PSRC. More information about the PSRC travel demand model can be found in chapter 6 of the Active Transportation plan. One of the greatest challenges facing the bicycle and pedestrian field is the lack of documentation on usage and demand. Without accurate and consistent demand and usage figures, it is difficult to measure the positive benefits of investments in these modes, especially when compared to the other transportation modes such as the private automobile. National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Pedestrian and Bicycle Council

4 The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project (NBPDB) began in 2004 to meet a need for consistent bicycling and walking data to establish trends and to estimate bicycling and walking activity. The project is sponsored by the Institute of Transportation Engineers Pedestrian and Bicycle Council to provide a consistent model of data collection and ongoing data for use by transportation planners. The basic assumption is that, to estimate existing and future bicycle and pedestrian demand and activity, a consistent count methodology is necessary. The NBPDP methodology includes recommended survey dates, instructions, survey forms and a variety of other more technical information such as how to make estimates from actual counts. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) began the Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project in 2008 and has used the NBPDP methodology to produce annual counts since then. PSRC conducted regional bike counts in 2010 to supplement WSDOT s efforts and to develop a regional coverage of bicycle counts. These counts will be used for regional monitoring and to provide a validation data set for the regional travel demand model. Pedestrian counts and bikes observed on transit and were also collected to supplement efforts by other agencies, however count locations were chosen for optimal bike count data. This section reviews PSRC s 2010 bicycle and pedestrian count data, WSDOT s Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, and other supplementary bike count data. Methodology In October 2010, two sets of bicycle and pedestrian counts occurred in the region. PSRC deployed 16 interns to collect count data at 342 locations across the region. As part of the WSDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, volunteers organized by Cascade Bicycle Club counted at another 276 locations. These efforts were combined into one data set for this report and are referred to as the 2010 Coordinated Bicycle Counts. The timing of the counts follows the NBPDP methodology as early fall is considered a useful time to conduct counts because the weather is moderate and people have settled back into a routine. The morning and evening peaks are counted due to the higher numbers of cyclists commuting during these times. The PSRC Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Count is meant to supplement the Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project counts in order to ensure a larger regional coverage of counts is collected. It is important to note, however, that there are some key methodological differences between these efforts. Both efforts follow the NBPDP but PSRC s model differed slightly for a few reasons. First, PSRC opted to hire 16 interns to ensure the counts were collected in all the set locations as recruiting volunteers has less assurance. In addition, the PSRC count collected data during the three-hour peak period corresponding to the PSRC travel demand model peak periods (AM, 6-9 and PM, 3-6) whereas the WSDOT counts were collected during the two-hour peak period (AM, 7-9 and PM, 4-6). The PSRC counts were also collected during the entire month of October on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays

5 as opposed to just the first week of October for the WSDOT counts. See Table 1 for a comparison of each count effort.

6 Count Location Selection PSRC chose count locations that would best capture bicycle commute patterns that could be used as a validation data set for the regional travel demand model. Pedestrian data and bike on bus data were also collected to supplement the efforts of other agencies although locations were not chosen based on transit routes or pedestrian travel. Many count locations were chosen on roadway networks represented in the travel demand model. In order to capture a more robust picture of bicycle travel in the region, other non-model-able locations on local roads and trails were also included resulting in counts dispersed across the region varied by roadway facility types. PSRC Count Locations were chosen by the following criteria: Access points to regional growth centers Major non-motorized facilities Access to transit centers Connections between urban villages Key bridges At each of the 342 count locations, all potential movements were recorded resulting in information being available on 1,283 roadway segments. Table 2: PSRC Three-Hour Counts Edges Counted by Facility Type King Kitsap Pierce Snohomish Total Principal Arterial Minor Arterial Collector Local Trails Total The Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project and the Bainbridge Island Volunteer count relied on local knowledge to select the count locations. The following summarizes the count locations for the Coordinated Two-Hour count dataset: 276 counts at 156 unique locations were counted by WSDOT/Cascade Bicycle Club within the Puget Sound region Three locations were counted by the Bainbridge Island Volunteer group

7 Twelve (12) additional two-hour count locations by PSCR interns (during AM and PM peak hours) Four mid-day bridge two-hour counts were counted by PSRC interns (11am to 1pm) Bicycle Count Results PSRC interns observed a total of 14,789 bicyclists over the count period and WSDOT volunteers counted a total of 13,718 bicyclists during their count period. Together, a total of 28,507 bicyclists were counted as part of this coordinated regional effort. These observations were collected from 618 total counts at 496 unique locations. High volume locations for bicyclists were those with dedicated bicycle facilities that connect or provide access to activity centers. Four locations with the highest counts were along the Burke Gilman Trail in Seattle. The average number of bicyclists per location is 43, while the median count value is 13. The trail count average was 120 compared to an average 32 riders on facilities other than trails, indicating greater use of dedicated facilities based on this count methodology. The Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project data shows an increase in bike and pedestrian travel over time. The project has attempted to maintain the same locations each year but the locations sometimes change. Between 2009 and 2010, observed bicyclists within the Puget Sound region increased by 27% across comparable locations. Top 10 Table 3 presents the locations with the highest bicycle use in the region. The top 10 locations by subarea are shown in Appendix A to highlight other high count locations throughout the region.

11 Helmet Use There is not a state law requiring helmet use in Washington State. Some cities and counties in the region require helmet use while bicycling, with some varying by age. The jurisdictions in the region with bicycle helmet laws include Pierce County, King County, and the following cities: Auburn, Bainbridge Island, Bellevue, Bremerton, Des Moines, Duvall, Enumclaw, Hunts Point, Kent, Milton, Port Orchard, Poulsbo, Renton, Seattle, and Snoqualmie. The 2010 PSRC Three-Hour Bicycle Count is the only data set that counted helmet use in Overall, 90% of the 14,789 bicyclists observed wore helmets. Of the 10 jurisdictions with a helmet law, 91% of riders were wearing helmets compared to 84% of riders wearing helmets in jurisdictions without a helmet law. It should be noted that these numbers could be skewed by some jurisdictions having observed much fewer riders counted. As demonstrated in the following table, bicyclists in several jurisdictions had 100% helmet use but in these cases, the figure is based on less than 10 riders. A notable mention should go to Seattle for the 95% of riders wearing helmets based on 10,295 riders.

14 Bikes on Buses Understanding how bicyclists use transit can help provide a more complete understanding of bicycle travel across the region. To coincide with the Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, Sound Transit conducted a count of bikes using transit and encouraged other transit agencies to do the same and to share the results. Sound Transit utilized internal staff and volunteers to count bikes on buses and at transit facilities. Sound Transit collected data at two Central Link stations, at Sounder Commuter Train stations and at several locations along Express bus routes during the October 5 afternoon peak period, from 3:30 6:30. This was Sound Transit s first attempt to collect bike counts. In 2013, there are set locations where counters stand and count bikes on board as buses and trains pass. There are also counters on Sounder trains to count buses on commuter rail. On the day of bike counts, all facilities are visited and bikes are counted there as well. Counts typically take place twice a year, but this year it is only happening in the fall. Bicyclists use transit to complete the first and/or last leg of a longer trip or to overcome a barrier with inadequate or nonexistent alternatives. One such barrier is the SR 520 Bridge. A driver can travel from the University of Washington to Downtown Bellevue in just over seven miles across the SR 520 Bridge. A bicyclist, however, would have to travel south to cross via the I-90 Bridge, adding more than five miles and a significant amount of time to their trip. Figure 5 illustrates bicycle travel across both Lake Washington Bridges during the afternoon peak on October 5 th, Figure 5 Lake Washington Bridge Counts October 5th, Legend Count of all bikes on busses between 3:30-6:30pm (3hr) - count by Sound Transit Count of bike riders between 4-6pm (2hr) - count by WSDOT/ CBC t MTS Roadways* Regional Trails * MTS - Metroplitan Transportation System t WSDOT/ CBC - Washington State Department of Transportation/ Cascade Bicycle Club

PSRC interns observed a total of 901 bikes on buses at 161 of the count locations. Most transit agencies in the region do not allow bikes inside the buses so a majority of the bikes are observable from the outside.

17 Pierce Transit Pierce Transit counted bikes on buses during the three day period that coincided with the Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project (October 5-7, 2010). Instead of counting at one location, Pierce Transit counted by route during the three-day period. Pierce Transit s interface keypad (DDU) for fare collection system has a button for bikes. During this count effort, several Pierce Transit volunteers were doing physical counts that were compared to what the operators were logging and therefore they were able to count all routes during the three-day count period. See the following map for the average daily count by route. Figure 7 In 2013, Pierce Transit has improved their count system to be able to record this monthly. Operators are instructed to press a bike icon on the ORCA Driver Display Unit each time a bike boarding occurs. Total number of bike tallies is recorded each month and are included in the Monthly System History Database stats. Data is not tracked/ reported for Sound Transit routes operated by Pierce Transit, but the data is available. Data comes from an auto-generated monthly report from the ORCA system on the 9th of each month for the previous month s activity and is reported by route ID and direction (inbound/outbound).

18 Community Transit In Snohomish County, Community Transit (CT) uses the ORCA reporting system. On all routes, except the Swift Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, drivers tap a button on the ORCA driver. CT employs manual counts on randomly-selected trips of the Swift BRT line to collect bike count data. Kitsap Transit also collects data for bikes on busses using a similar system utilized by Community Transit and Pierce Transit where drivers count bikes as they load the busses. Figure 8:

19 Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking and other amenities are an important aspect of bike commuting as destination facilities for commuters often dictates if bike commuting is feasible. Several agencies collected bike parking information in addition to the other efforts to count bikes in route. PSRC conducts a periodic inventory of off-street parking facilities in the central Puget Sound region. Beginning in 2010, this parking survey began to include collecting bike parking in the central business districts of Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, and Bremerton; Seattle s First Hill, Lower Queen Anne, and University District neighborhoods; and ferry terminals in Bainbridge Island, Kingston, and Southworth. Sound Transit also collected bike parking at transit centers during the October 2010 bike count month. Staff and volunteers counted bikes at bike racks as well as inside bike lockers. Sound Transit has continued to collect bike count information in the years since. Commute Seattle, a not-for-profit transportation service organization working to provide alternatives to drive-alone commuter trips, conducted the 2010 Center City Bicycle Amenity Inventory. The inventory, which occurred between October 2010 and March 2011, documented private bicycle amenities in Downtown Seattle. The inventory includes the capacity of bike racks and lockers as well as showers and other bicycle commuting amenities in commercial buildings. In addition to reporting capacity, the Commute Seattle report includes factors such as quality, installation, and human behavior that can impact the actual capacity. Prior to conducting this inventory, Commute Seattle used existing research from the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals and contacted PSRC and other organizations that were collecting counts for guidance regarding actual vs. stated bike rack capacity. For the purposes of the Commute Seattle inventory, capacity is defined as the number of bikes that can reasonably be accommodated on a rack as opposed to the capacity cited by manufacturers. Because little guidance was available on this topic that included quality, installation, and human behavior, Commute Seattle created a field guide to quickly and objectively measure a rack s capacity based on its design elements and the capacity lost due to installation and the environment. This guide is worthy of noting considering how much these assumptions affect the inventory of bicycle amenities and the experience of the actual users of these facilities.

20 Recommendations for Transit Counts According to the United States Department of Transportation Policy Statement on Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodation Regulations and Recommendations signed in March of 2010, communities that routinely collect walking and bicycling data are able to track trends and prioritize investments to ensure the success of new facilities (and) are also valuable in linking walking and bicycling with transit. Reliable information on the number of bicyclists using the bus as part of their trip is an important aspect to painting a more complete picture of bicycle mobility in the Puget Sound region. It also has other benefits. Data for bike boardings allows transit agencies to measure existing and future demand of bikes on buses as well as demand for bike parking at locations with a high rate of bike boardings. Regional coordination and reporting of this data can encourage the development of bike programs within transit agencies and helps demonstrates the importance of these efforts. In order to adequately understand bike demand for transit, there is a need is to better track this data. With the greater use of mobile applications and GPS technology, more opportunities to do so are available.. Currently, several transit agencies in the Puget Sound region have their drivers press a button on the ORCA card pass reader to count the bicyclists. Some agencies have reported this to be more successful than others depending on driver participation. Even with this technology, transit agencies are able to count by route but have little information about which stops along that route are attracting the most bicycle boardings. Having bike boarding data related to stop information would be useful to plan for additional bike parking where demand is greatest.

21 Pedestrian Count Results The regional count effort by WSDOT and PSRC also included observing pedestrians. The count locations for the Washington State Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project were created in coordination with local agencies, whereas the 2010 PSRC Three-Hour Bicycle Count locations were chosen specifically to contribute to a bike count validation data set for the regional travel demand model. Even though the PSRC locations were not chosen for optimal pedestrian travel, about 46% more pedestrians were observed than bicyclists and, between both count efforts, a total of 59,142 pedestrians were observed during the three day period. The locations where the most pedestrians were observed were not necessarily the same locations where the most bicyclists were observed. While the highest observed values for both groups corresponded with activity centers, the highest volume bicycle use locations were located in different activity centers and locations than the highest volume pedestrian use facilities. For example, high numbers of cyclists were observed on separated paths, while high volumes of pedestrians were observed near schools and transit centers particularly on sidewalks.

25 Next Steps and Recommendations As noted by the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, a consistent method for data collection of bicycling or walking activity is important to determine trends and to estimate biking and walking activity. While the regional coordination highlighted in this document is important in characterizing bike and pedestrian travel across the Puget Sound Region, manual counts do have limitations. Automated counts that occur 24 hours a day and 365 days a year are noted as an ideal practice from sources ranging from the University of Washington for the Bicycle Planning, Best Practices, and Count Methodology Studio Project to the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project. The NBPDP has also featured the California State Department of Transportation forecasting research project which uses 24 hour a day, 365 day a year automatic machine counts to develop an extensive GIS database for identifying and analyzing factors that influence bicycling and walking which also utilizes the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project methodology.
