Make It Count: Measuring Traffic and Use in Large-Scale Trail Networks

Collecting current data on trail users can prove a powerful aid when submitting funding requests to support the development of new trails or the maintenance and upgrading of existing trails. As trails increasingly become connected, strategies to collect and make trail traffic data available to decision-makers and the public must evolve with the movement. This webinar provides an overview of three different strategies to collect and make available trail traffic data in large-scale—and growing—trail networks across the country.
