Volunteers needed

Gresham is participating in a nationwide effort to document the number of people biking, walking, skateboarding, and rollerblading on trails and local streets. As part of that effort, City staff is asking for volunteers to help conduct counts and surveys.

The counts will be conducted September 14th, 15th, and 16th from 7 to 9 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., and September 18th and 19th from 9 to 11 a.m. The City has identified 18 locations where counts will be taken:

Count or Survey?

Volunteers can choose to conduct counts or conduct a short survey. The surveys well help provide information on trip distance, why people use trails, and what types of trials they prefer.

Your participation in this effort will help the City gain valuable information on walking and bicycling:

  • Baseline data: How many people are biking? Walking? Where? What are the volume trends from year to year?
  • What is the return on investment in bike lanes, trails and sidewalks: How many people use bike/pedestrian facilities after they are built?
  • How can safety be improved: Certain locations have high numbers of bike/pedestrian crashes, but what is the risk exposure rate? Is it high or low relative to bike/pedestrian volumes? How should safety improvements be prioritized?

If you are available to volunteer to conduct counts or surveys at any of the times outlined above please contact:
Jonathan David, Transportation Planner, City of Gresham by phone 503-618-2321 or email jonathan.david@greshamoregon.gov.
