Harrisburg Area Count Program May 15 to 21, 2022
The latest round of the HATS Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Program is here. We appreciate the help we’ve gotten for this effort over the years. Recent round of counts were some of our best yet! If you plan on helping out again this spring, please be sure to adhere to PA Dept of Health guidelines when doing so.
The data collected has been used in studies and analyses throughout the region, such as the Camp Hill to Capital Corridor study and the Route 39 Corridor study. This effort depends on the help of people like you, and be assured it is greatly appreciated.
As always, please feel free to post the following information (and links) to any social media or website of a group you think would be interested in participating. You can also get it touch with me, and I can reach out directly.
All the information and links necessary to help can be found at TCRPC’s Bike/Ped Planning Page.
Thanks again!
