This set of data files is one of the four test data sets acquired by the USDOT Data Capture and Management program. It contains the following data for the six months from May 1 2011 to October 31 2011: -Raw and cleaned data for traffic detectors deployed by Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) along I-5 in Seattle. Data includes 20-second raw reports. -Incident response records from the WSDOT's Washington Incident Tracking System (WITS). -A record of all messages and travel times posted on WSDOT's Active Traffic -Management signs and conventional variable message signs on I-5. -Loop detector volume and occupancy data from arterials parallel to I-5, estimated travel times on arterials derived from Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) data, and arterial signal timing plans. -Scheduled and actual bus arrival times from King County Metro buses and Sound Transit buses. -Incidents on I-5 during the six month period -Seattle weather data for the six month period -A dataset of GPS breadcrumb data from commercial trucks described in the documentation is not available to the public because of data ownership and privacy issues. This legacy dataset was created before data.transportation.gov and is only currently available via the attached file(s). Please contact the dataset owner if there is a need for users to work with this data using the data.transportation.gov analysis features (online viewing, API, graphing, etc.) and the USDOT will consider modifying the dataset to fully integrate in data.transportation.gov.

The Pedestrian Element of the Seattle Transportation Plan (STP) is a blueprint to create a more walkable Seattle and provides a suite of pedestrian improvements across the City. The intent is to focus resources on access to public schools, parks, and light rail, streetcar, and frequent transit networks12, in areas where walking conditions are difficult, and where people most need to be able to walk. It highlights the needs of people walking and rolling and guides future investments to achieve STP goals.The process is based on an analysis of factors related to the STP’s goals of safety, equity, sustainability, mobility & economic vitality, livability, and maintenance & modernization. This data-driven prioritization framework helps the city provide targeted improvements that reflect community priorities, City policy objectives, and current data. Throughout the life of the STP, there will be opportunities to evaluate what has been implemented and what can be prioritized in future funding cycles, within the context of the STP's goals, funding availability and project readiness, and other emergent needs. Decisions made as we craft regular STP Implementation Plans will determine the pace of STP Pedestrian Priority Investment Network implementation. Refresh Cycle: None, Static.

Frequent, reliable transit service is the foundation of a transportation system that empowers all travelers and makes Seattle a truly transit-friendly city. A robust transit network is essential if Seattle is to meet its climate goals and address transportation-related inequities. At its most fundamental level, a transit network is made up of transit infrastructure such as bus lanes, transit signals, and bus stops, often arranged in corridors. The transit service that travels on this infrastructure can be described as a series of routes that connect different parts of a community for a number of hours per day at a certain frequency (the number of trips at a bus stop per hour). SDOT’s vision for the service aspect of the transit network is followed by a vision for transit infrastructure in the sections below. Public input and surveys consistently point to transit frequency as the most critical factor that influences ridership behavior. This fundamental concept directly informs SDOT’s shared vision for a “Frequent Transit Network” (FTN), which builds from the 2016 Transit Master Plan (TMP) and establishes aspirational frequency targets for transit corridors throughout the city. A high-frequency transit network enables people to move through the city with confidence in a timely arrival—and without the need to consult a schedule—throughout the day and every single day of the week. Continual investment in improved transit frequency in Seattle is essential for many reasons: Post-pandemic transit is likely to remain less commuter-focused and oriented specifically to Downtown Seattle and must adapt to new travel behaviors and patterns. To support everyday trips by transit (not just commutes), people need reliable mobility at all times, such as early mornings, midday, evenings and at night all days of the week, not just at peak times on weekdays. Transit needs to accommodate work schedules of non-traditional and low-income workers including the times noted above. Transit should be attractive for all types of trips throughout the week, including education, shopping, and recreational trips, as well as cultural gatherings. An excellent transit network is necessary to accommodate the mode shift required to respond to the impacts of climate change in the next decade. Frequent transit reduces wait time, increases reliability, and values the time for existing and future riders. Frequent transit makes transfers more feasible and allows a network of routes to function as a system. A connected network of frequent transit services is also critical to achieve STP climate goals, which require dramatic increases in transit ridership and VMT reduction to support broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation. High transit frequencies as part of a reliable, all-day service network can create a more equitable transportation system, making it possible for people of all ages, incomes, and abilities to get where they want to go regardless of when or where they need to travel. The Transit Element presents a vision for frequent transit service in Seattle that goes beyond the original Frequent Transit Network (FTN) presented in the 2016 Transit Master Plan.

The Spokane Bridge Bicycle Counter records the number of bikes that cross the bridge using the pedestrian/bicycle pathway on the south side. Inductive loops on the pathway count the passing of bicycles with travel direction. The data consists of a date/time field, east pathway count field and west pathway count field. The count fields represent the total bicycles detected during the specified one hour period.
