Streets Hourly Bike Counts

In 2016, we began a new annual bicycle count program using automated technology. We collect data at almost 90 locations across the City a few times per year.

This dataset contains hourly traffic count observations collected by the Boston Transportation Department (BTD) at designated count locations across the street network. Each record represents the number of bicycles and multiple motor-vehicle classes observed in a specific direction during a single hour on a specific count date, along with summary totals and derived metrics (e.g., bike percentage, peak-period flag).

To view the data interactively, visit the Boston Bike Counts Viewer. For more information, visit our Bike Data page or contact betterbikelanes@boston.gov.
