Volunteers from the Asheville Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force, Asheville on Bikes, the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, and more have worked with representatives of the City of Asheville for 10 years to find out how many people are walking and bicycling in various locations around the city. You can help!
This year, in coordination with the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, we will count non-motorized users of our streets at a number of specific sites from 5-7 p.m. on one of the following dates:
*Tuesday, September 15th, OR
*Wednesday, September 16th, OR
*Thursday, September 17th.
There are also a few sites available from 7-9 a.m. on those days, and a few sites that are counted on Saturday, September 19th from 9-11 a.m. Volunteer hours are extremely valuable in this effort. No special skills are required, but we will make sure you know how to do the count before we send you out there. Sign up at Bike/Ped Site Registration or if you have questions, email [email protected].
