The Pedestrian Count Dataset documents foot traffic on state highways, originating from Caltrans district pilots initiated in 2023 to monitor active transportation. Data is vendor-collected using technologies like video analytics, then shared with HQ via APIs or files for statewide standardization in CSV format. Core variables include Loc_id (site identifier), Date/Hour (timestamp), Direction (e.g., East Crosswalk), Count (integer volumes), and geospatial (latitude/longitude). Limitations include potential undercounts in adverse weather and incomplete coverage. This supports equity-focused planning under Complete Streets policies, with updates as pilots expand.
