Texas, Brazos County, Bryan and College Station use Strava Heat Maps

TXDOT licensed Strava data (near real time) for the entire state and is conducting training so our local municipalities can leverage this data.

Just last week the MPO sponsored our local governments to draw out the near and long range cycling routes that connect the cities and Brazos County. We used the 2016 Strava Heat map for that first pass.

While there are limitations (i.e. mostly represents recreational distance cyclists who use Strava) it is a larger set of geo-coded data than they could get any other way.

College Station asks us about parking our bikes!

Hello!

The City of College Station is conducting a short survey to evaluate bicycle parking requirements around town. Bike racks are currently required for non-residential developments but we are hoping to fine-tune specific requirements. Please take a moment to fill out THIS SURVEY by Tuesday, August 29th.

Thanks so much for your time and please let me know if you have any questions. Please feel free to forward to others who might be interested.
