Looking to improve Biking in America?
The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project is looking for volunteers to help with the 2010 National Count/Survey days (during the week of September 13, 2010).

This survey and count is an effort to overcome one of the greatest challenges facing the bicycle and pedestrian field; the lack of documentation on usage and demand. This data is needed to increase investment in these fields. This nationwide effort will provide data for use by planners, governments, and bicycle and pedestrian professionals.
For more information about how to volunteer and help with this effort, go to the National Project Website.
Typical volunteer activities will include:
* A brief Volunteer Training
* A 2-3 hour traffic count and half hour of survey distribution
In Portland, you can volunteer by contacting April Bertelsen, Pedestrian Coordinator, 503-823-6177, april.bertelsen@portlandoregon.gov.
