The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the Cascade Bicycle Club are enlisting volunteers and organizations like Feet First and the Bicycle Alliance of Washington to help count the number of people bicycling and walking on paths, bike lanes, sidewalks, and other facilities Tuesday, Oct. 1, through Thursday, Oct. 3.

For this sixth annual survey, counts will be assembled from all over Washington State, but focused on several cities including Issaquah.

Nearly 60,000 bicyclists and pedestrians were counted by volunteers across Washington during a three-day survey in 2012. About 400 volunteers will be needed again this fall to count the number of people who ride, bike or walk to their destinations.
