Hi there,
I hope this finds you all well. I wanted to forward you this information about the Bike/Ped counts in hope that you, students, or co-workers may be able to help out. Also, this is a great opportunity to get involved for any students who may be interested in working as an intern for Tacoma-Pierce County Bike Month next year. Let me know if you have any questions,
Thanks

Pierce County Bike and Pedestrian Count
Help track bicyclists and pedestrians in locations throughout the Pierce County by volunteering as an official bicycle and pedestrian counter October 5-7th. Volunteers will be stationed at a trail or intersection during peak commute hours and asked to tally bicycles and pedestrians as they cross your path. Whether you can count during the morning and evening commute all three days, or are only available for one shift, we need your help!
Tuesday, October 5th - Thursday, October 7th
7 am-9am and 4pm-6pm
Choose one shift or volunteer for them all!
The bicycle and pedestrian count is part of an annual state-wide effort, coordinated by the Cascade Bicycle Club and the Washington State Department of Transportation. It is also part of a nationwide effort to begin obtaining data about the nation’s pedestrian and bicycle travel.
Register as a volunteer and choose your shift times and locations at: http://www.wa-bike-ped-count.org/index.php
Cascade Bicycle Club will follow-up with you to confirm your shift location and time, and to ensure you have all the materials you need to perform the counts. In the meantime, feel free to read more about the documentation project here, and download volunteer instructions and count forms here. If you have any questions or registration issues, contact Tessa at the Cascade Bike Club at tessa.greegor@cascadebicycleclub.org or 206-204-0913.
Thank you for helping to make Pierce County a more pedestrian and bicycle friendly community!
