Transportation Data

The City uses a range of data sources to support transportation planning and transportation system development, including:

• Multimodal counts - the City collects counts on select streets and intersections every other year
• Traffic speeds - the City collects data on the speed of traffic on a subset of streets included in these counts
• Traffic collisions - the City's citizen RIMS includes calls for service, traffic stops, collisions, citations, and other data
