Purpose of the Program

With the generous help of volunteers, NOACA conducts annual bicycle and pedestrian counts throughout Northeast Ohio in May and September. These counts are conducted in order to:

• Gauge regional and local levels of bicycling and walking beyond what is already available from Census data.
• Identify trends based on count data to aid the planning and design of multimodal transportation infrastructure, as well as the implementation and execution of encouragement, educational, and enforcement programs.
• Aid in the prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and planning projects.

September Bicycle and Pedestrian Counts

NOACA has completed its counts for September 2025. Be on the lookout for the next round of volunteer opportunities in May 2026.

NOACA Bike Count Data

We are still compiling count data for September 2025, but previous count data can be downloaded in Excel format. Past count data from 2011 through 2018 has been summarized in this January 2020 report. The report includes analysis of overall walking and biking volumes, helmet usage, sidewalk and bicycle facility usage, and gender.

NOACA participates in the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project.

Thanks to all of our bike count volunteers for helping us gather important data about bike ridership in northeast Ohio. They do a great job and provide a real service to the region.
