Developing active transportation
Active transportation is a key piece of livable cities. When more people walk and cycle, travel is more efficient, public health improves, and the effects of climate change are reduced.
But, it's not so easy to develop active transportation as a mode of transport. Pedestrian and bicycle safety, mode share allocation, and trend monitoring are all common roadblocks. Luckily, data empowers you to tackle these challenges and transform your city to make it faster, greener, and safer.

Building the cities of tomorrow:

Monitoring active transportation trends
Usage and trend data measure the impacts of infrastructure projects and other factors on walking and cycling. Basing decisions on reliable data is the key to a safe city that prioritizes public health and fights climate change.

Vision Zero: safe mobility for all
Vision Zero is an international traffic safety project that aims to eliminate deaths or serious injuries on road networks. This initiative calls for specific data on vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.

Modal Share
& Space Allocation
How wide? Which direction? For whom? Building pedestrian and bike facilities is no easy task and requires reliable data to make the right decisions.
Monitoring bike trends in San Diego County
How does the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) use count data and active transportation monitoring to learn about cyclists in San Diego County?
On their annual Bike Anywhere Day event, citizens across the region were encouraged to replace their car trips with bike trips for an entire day. With the help of volunteers, organizations, and businesses in the community, SANDAG found that the event increased bicycle ridership by 40% compared to typical volumes. This massive success was shown in the data thanks to their long-term count program that tracked annual cycling trends.

Our philosophy
For over 20 years, Eco-Counter has specialized in collecting and analyzing count data to help transform cities.
We built our company around innovations that provide "ground-truth" data, or data that represents the reality of what is happening on networks of any size. This essential foundation allows us to provide support and expertise for responding to challenges such as improving public health, building a safe city, monitoring park use, and tackling climate change.
We offer turnkey solutions (hardware and software) or customized services (installation, maintenance, data analysis, etc.). In both cases, responsive support and customer service help you get the results and answers you need.
