Studies and Surveys
Concerned with developing a regional transportation system for bicycling in Northern Virginia, the VDOT Northern Virginia Bikeway and Trail Network Study provides a coordinated and strategic approach for identifying and developing bicycling facilities in the area.
The Northern Virginia Bicycle Rider survey was conducted with area bicycle commuters during the 2004 Bike To Work Day event. A Snapshot of results provides information on current NoVA ridership trends. As part of the ongoing effort to better understand the nature of our area, bicycle commuters, bicycle and pedestrian counts were recently completed along the Northern Virginia Trail network. The pertinent data that was collected will establish a threshold of the area’s bicycle and pedestrian usage (2005/06), examine movements, monitor key locations, as well as help determine the application of future efforts.
