Register now to undertake counts
The ACT town centre cordon count program involves the counting of people walking or riding bikes across selected counting locations that are strategically located to form a cordon (or screen-line) around the selected area over a specified time.
The objective is to collect consistent and comprehensive person movement data for monitoring travel pattern changes and to assist in the planning of the transportation system. The ACT Government uses the valuable information data collected for planning, design and related activities.
We count people walking and riding bicycles into and out of the ACT town centres at the locations given on the cordon count page.
The counts are on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in late February and/or early March each year from 07:00 to 10:00 hours and from 16:00 to 19:00 hours with the data recorded using an app on a smart phone.
Register your interest in being a counter at https://www.volunteersignup.org/LY8TQ
Data collectors' instruction page set out how the counting is undertaken.
