Calling All Cyclists, New York State Launches First-Ever Bike Census

New York State is conducting its first-ever Bike Census in an effort to “foster safer streets and better transportation options across the state.”

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Urban Cycling Solutions (UCS) are inviting bicyclists to take a Cycling Census survey which will help foster a future of safer bicycling in New York.

“The New York Bike Census is an unprecedented effort to collect detailed data on bicycle transportation across the State,” the survey site says. “Your responses to this short (five minute) survey will help shape the future of multimodal transportation in NYS. By helping us understand where, and how New Yorkers use bicycles as well as the real and perceived barriers to active transportation, you can help planners, and policy makers invest in safer, more equitable multimodal streets.”

If you have ever had something to say, or idea to add regarding cycling on our streets, now is your chance.

Each participant will also be entered to win one of three $150 Planet Bike gift cards. If you’d like to participate, Click Here.
