The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) is seeking volunteers to collect bicycle and pedestrian traffic data on area trails and bicycle lanes in
mid-September.

PPACG, in cooperation with the City of Colorado Springs, has developed a volunteer-based data collection program to record bicycle and pedestrian
traffic on trails and bicycle lanes around the region.  This count
program will collect valuable data to help quantify the level of usage
of the region’s bicycle and pedestrian transportation facilities.  This
data can be used to determine existing use and estimate future demand as
well as help identify and prioritize project needs and limited
resources to fund bicycle and pedestrian projects. 

Volunteers are needed for two-hour data collection shifts at 12 locations around the region on:

·         Saturday, September 11^th from 9 - 11 a.m.

·         Wednesday, September 15^th from 7 – 9 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 – 7 p.m.

Please visit PPACG’s Regional Bicycle/Pedestrian Traffic Count Program web page at http://www.ppacg.org/transportation/bike-ped-counts to sign up online for a volunteer shift or for more information on the project.

Please share this volunteer opportunity with friends, family, group members and colleagues.  Thank you for your help!
