The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Pedestrian Program seeks volunteers to help count pedestrian traffic at key locations across the city. Reliable pedestrian counts provide critical data for assessing and improving pedestrian safety and walkability as well as tracking city-wide trends in walking to work, school, and transit.
The count contributes to the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project (http://bikepeddocumentation.org/) and helps meet goals set out in Chicago’s Pedestrian Plan (http://chicagocompletestreets.org/pedestrianplan/).
When: July 8-10, 2014, 4:30-7 PM
Where: Various locations around downtown Chicago
CDOT appreciates your assistance in helping to develop this pedestrian initiative. Please email your interest to Eric Hanss, Pedestrian Program Project Manager, at eric.hanss@activetrans.org
