Seamless Travel: Measuring Bicycle and Pedestrian Activity in San Diego County and Its Relationship to Land Use, Transportation, Safety, and Facility Type

The Seamless Travel Project, which is coordinated with the National Bicycle & Pedestrian Documentation Project, is the largest and longest combined count and survey effort in the U.S. focusing only on bicyclists and pedestrians. This study was designed to evaluate existing bicycle and pedestrian data sources and collection methods; conduct comprehensive counts and surveys of bicyclists and pedestrians in a consistent manner; conduct counts and surveys using San Diego County as a model community; analyze how bicycle and pedestrian activity levels relate to facility quality and factors such as land use and demographics; identify factors that are highly correlated with increased bicycling and walking; and, evaluate how the transit-linkage (bicycle and pedestrian connections to transit) can be improved. The paper includes a synthesis of published research, primary data collection, count and survey results, and development of a predictive model. Among their conclusions, the authors found that California should develop and
