What Is It?

One of the greatest challenges facing the bicycle and pedestrian field is the lack of documentation on usage and demand. Without accurate and consistent demand and usage figures, it is difficult to measure the positive benefits of investments in these modes, especially when compared to the other transportation modes such as the private automobile. This lead to the development of The National Documentation Project (NDP)

The NDP is an annual bicycle and pedestrian count and survey effort that is sponsored by the Institute of Transportation Engineers Pedestrian and Bicycle Council.

Alta Planning + Design, a national bicycle and pedestrian planning firm initiated the effort through the ITE Pedestrian & Bicycle Council in 2003, when it was identified as a priority for the Council and will continue to lead this effort along with the ITE Pedestrian and Bicycle Council.
