Active Transportation Demand

Active transportation planning aims to provide communities safe and convenient access to home, work, school, recreation, and transit via walking and biking. This dataset contains composite scores for active transportation demand and need. Scores are derived from quantifying factors that generate bicycle and pedestrian movement, and can be used to inform and prioritize. Factors considered in demand analysis include: employment density, retail employment density, population density, park density, presence of existing active transportation, presence of colleges/universities, and poverty levels. Scores are applied at the geographic level of census block group.
