BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
Charlotte County entered into an agreement with FDOT Transportation Data and Analytics Office to install a bicycle/pedestrian counter at the trailhead of the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail. They are requesting an agreement to place an additional counter at the end of the trail. FDOT TDA’s goal is to collect significant volume data to create AADTs (Average Annual Daily Traffic statistics) for non-motorized facilities and trails and be able to submit these statistics to Federal Highway Administration. All collected data is publicly available and shared on a monthly basis on FDOT Non-Motorized Traffic Monitoring Program website dashboard.
