As an initial step towards enhancing bicycle and pedestrian data quality and filling data gaps, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) has undertaken this assessment of bicycle and pedestrian data needs. The study has three objectives: first, to provide an inventory of existing sources of bicycle and pedestrian-related data, including the extent, quality, and limitations of these of these sources; second, to identify and prioritize areas in which additional or improved data are needed; and third, to identify and recommend opportunities for improving the quality of bicycle and pedestrian data. This review of existing data and data needs was based on outreach to user groups that included planners, advocates, and researchers at federal, state, and local government agencies, universities, and nonprofit organizations. Published materials and information from other recent assessments of transportation data needs were also reviewed. Primary data sources were classified by four types: (1) usage, trip, and user characteristics; (2) user preferences; (3) facilities; and (4) crash and safety data. Key types of secondary data (data that are based on analysis of primary data) were also identified, including research-study results and manuals of practice.
