Survey of Cycling Data collected within Governments
Danielle Cantono is conducting a study in partial fulfilment of a Master of
Environmental Studies Degree at the University of Adelaide, Australia. Her study relates to the collection and use of cycling data by local, state and federal governments to plan or make decisions relating to increasing cycling within the transport system. To further her research, Dannielle asks that local, state and federal government representatives involved in traffic/cycling data collection and use undertake her survey. To obtain a copy of the survey, please Danielle Cantono at Danielle.Cantono(at)student.adelaide.edu.au no later than Friday, 8 October 2004 with replies due back to Danielle by the 15 October 2004. More information: In the last few years, many governments have set targets seeking to increase the cycling mode share within their jurisdiction in a quest to improve the sustainability of their transport system. Those individuals and departments charged with meeting these goals are faced with having to choose those measures which will make the biggest impact on cycling with only a limited amount of funding available. For those in this situation, knowing what types of data to base such decisions on can mean the difference between achieving this goal or not. The aim of the survey is to gather information on the type of data collected by governments wishing to encourage cycling and the ways in which it is used to accomplish this goal. As there are many different cycling data collection strategies employed by governments around the world, it is helpful to understand what methods are currently being employed and the benefits of each of these various methods. Responses to the survey are sought from various local, state and federal governments within Australia, New Zealand, the United States, England, Canada and the Netherlands. All participating governments who send in a completed survey form will receive an excel spreadsheet when the study is completed containing a summary of all the data sent in by the respondents. The name of each government will be kept confidential, however, other governments will be able to see what type of government (state, local or national) has responded and in what country that government resides. This information can then be used to better plan cyclist data collecting strategies in the future. |
