E very year WAMPO coordinates an annual count of bicycle and pedestrian activity across 35 different sites in Park City, Goddard, Andover, Mulvane and Wichita to name a few.
Volunteers are needed on the following dates:
- Thursday, September 17 (5:00 - 7:00pm)
- Saturday, September 19 (Noon - 2:00pm)
The data collected during the count helps to estimate the number of people and locations people bicycle, walk and run.Once collected, the data is used to plan the location of future bicycle and pedestrian investments. In order to effectively gather this information we rely on a team of volunteers to spend a short period of time at each site counting bicyclists and pedestrians.
