Survey Responses B-5 3a. How does your state collect pedestrian data (write in)? State Write-In California We use multiple methods and databases to collect pedestrian infrastructure data. We have several project delivery databases detailing specific pedestrian features delivered in projects and maintenance work orders. As it relates to projects, surveys, plan review and field reviews can provide information on pedestrian infrastructure data and ADA compliance. We also have a pilot pedestrian data collection effort using custom GIS applications, this includes feature creation using enterprise GIS for crosswalks and sidewalks. Finally, we have a database for out maintenance program that includes maintenance conditions for many assets, including pedestrian infrastructure, that are in planned projects. Electronically via video logs and supplemental sources such as aerial imagery and Google EarthColorado Florida Field and videolog survey Georgia Don't know Idaho Various methods Safe Routes to School grant applications (parent surveys, student tallies, and walkability surveys), physical pedestrian counts from IDOT districts, MPOs, and local jurisdictions, and upcoming pedestrian peer exchange.Illinois Indiana There is no official protocol or standard operating procedure for the collection of pedestrian infrastructure data Iowa Request to Cities Kansas Google Maps/Street View; KDOT Planning Video-Log Use of Area Development Office and Consultants. Much is collected with web- based view, and verified site reviews at certain locations.Kentucky Louisiana Fugro data collection compiles the data Maine Miovision Maryland Collects crash data and existence of sidewalks MassDOT doesn't have any equipment to exclusively count bikes and pedestrians. However, we use Miovision for turning movement counts (TMC) and when we receive a request for TMC data for a specific project ped and bike Massachusetts data is included and is forwarded to the requestor. Minnesota Our ADA office collects most of the information, and it's in relationship to compliance on the TH system. They are collecting information about infrastructure in the state ROW that other partners may own and/or maintain. ADA collects most of the information via field visits. The state also has a videologue that can be used to view infrastructure online. There are internal staff exploring how to use information from third party vendors - like streetlight -to determine pedestrian and bicycle routes. To develop our state bicycle map, the DOT requests information from local partners to populate information, and that's mostly relate to speed, ADT and shoulder width. Response rates from counties vary.

B-6 Availability and Use of Pedestrian Infrastructure Data to Support Active Transportation Planning Montana Unknown As roads were evaluated, pedestrian infrastructure adjacent to state-owned Nebraska roads was inventoried Nevada Direct inspection – transition plan Field visits to inspect curb ramps; field visits to check sight distance for New Hampshire midblock crosswalks during layout; office reviews of midblock crosswalks using computer tools such as Google Earth and Bing Maps. New York Don’t know PBIN geodatabase and Project Atlas – more descriptive info can be provided if North Carolina requested. ODOT asset management maintains inventory of sidewalks and curb ramps. Currently developing a crossing inventory. Regions have used inventory data and evaluation criteria to develop Active Transportation Needs inventory Oregon (investment prioritization system). South Carolina Manual inventory to establish a baseline. Now, changes are tracked as projects are completed. Tennessee Don’t know Texas GIS-based apps Utah Mandli LiDAR, manual collection, receive from MPOs and local agencies Vermont Site visits Washington Public/private partnerships; from orthophotography, from local agencies Visual inspection using WisDOT Photolog, Google Street View and satellite Wisconsin imagery. 4. The following matrix outlines potential pedestrian facilities and the extent to which your state DOT may collect data on these facilities. Please identify below the coverage of your state DOT’s pedestrian infrastructure data. For example, if data are collected as certain project types are completed, select “Some projects.” If your DOT does not collect this data, please select “Does not collect data.” What is the coverage of your state DOT’s pedestrian infrastructure data?

In March 2010, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) released a policy statement supporting the development of fully integrated transportation networks. The policy is to “incorporate safe and convenient walking and bicycle facilities into transportation projects.”

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Synthesis 558: Availability and Use of Pedestrian Infrastructure Data to Support Active Transportation Planning documents how state DOTs are collecting, managing, sharing, and analyzing pedestrian infrastructure data.

Documenting and summarizing current DOT practices for defining, storing, collecting and sharing pedestrian infrastructure data will help agencies tailor the data collection process to build data infrastructure that supports various uses, leading to more consistent and efficient planning and management of pedestrian infrastructure.
