Bicycle and Micromobility Cordon Count

The data in this repository were collected as part of the 2022 Toronto Micromobility Cordon and Classification Count. The dataset contains information on how many cyclists and micromobility users are riding on specific downtown streets, when and where they are riding, and other characteristics such as device type, apparent trip purpose, and whether they are riding in a bicycle lane, in mixed-traffic, or on the sidewalk.

Seven screenlines that together make up two cordon boundaries were included in the study. The inner cordon is bounded by Bloor Street, Spadina Avenue, Queen's Quay and Jarvis Street. The outer cordon is bounded by Dufferin Street, the CP Rail Corridor (mostly parallel with Dupont Street), the Don River, and Lake Ontario. A few additional count locations not on cordon boundaries were also included to capture key high-volume locations.

Each cordon was counted on a single day, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The Cordon Count was conducted in early fall. Mid-week, good weather days were chosen to best represent typical weekday cycling and micromobility travel patterns.

The counts are separated by date, location, and direction of travel. A count summary table, a table of disaggregated counts and classifications, and a classification dictionary table are included. The data are fully anonymous.

A report on the findings of the 2022 Bicycle and Micromobility Cordon Count is available at Cycling Data, Events & Programs.

Previous iterations of the study can be found at Bicycle Cordon Count: 2010, 2013, 2014.
