NZTA Monitoring Walking & Cycling webinar

Where presented / published:

Online NZTA training webinar, 13 Aug 2019

With the growth in walking and cycling around New Zealand, an important piece of the puzzle is monitoring the changes in (and types of) active user numbers over time. Understanding what measurement tools and methods are available to help with this work is also key.

In Aug 2019, ViaStrada assisted with the development and presentation of the NZ Transport Agency's first webinar on walking & cycling topics, namely measuring and monitoring these active modes. Glen Koorey oversaw the project coordination and MC'd the webinar, while John Lieswyn presented on technologies available for monitoring non-motorised users (including manual and automated tube, loop, and video methods). 

They were joined by Bridget Burdett (MRCagney, measuring walking) and Courtney Groundwater (Abley, monitoring cycling), with Claire Pascoe (NZTA) providing a sponsor's overview. Lots of interesting questions also followed the presentations.
