Executive Summary Why Count Bike Riders? Bicycle ridership data allows cities to better understand bicycle ridership and provide or improve bicycle facilities where the need is greatest. By providing estimates of the total numbers of cyclists and insights into cyclist behavior, counts can support bicycling and prevent bicycle collisions. In Fall of 2016, Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition (SBBIKE) conducted a manual bike count in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria and unincorporated south Santa Barbara County including Montecito, U.C.S.B., and Isla Vista. The goal of this count was to gain a better understanding of current bicycle use and serve as a baseline for future annual bicycle counts, as well as support our region’s investments in bicycling as a tool that improves public health, eases traffic emissions and congestion, bolsters local economies and all-around quality of life. This bike count provides a snapshot of the entire South County. Because it was not confined by political borders or the availability or use of electronic equipment, we were able to measure a number of other characteristics of riders.
Locations Thirty-four count locations were chosen based on: popular cycling routes and current or planned bicycle infrastructure. Locations intentionally included off-street bicycle paths (Class 1), on-street striped lanes (Class 2), and bicycles

routes marked only with shared lane marking (sharrows) or signage (Class 3) or no markings.

Most (69%) of bicyclists were counted on offstreet bicycle paths (Class 1.)
Most bicyclists were counted on Class 1 Bike Paths, which were present at 1/5 of the locations counted. In contrast, 20% of bike riders were on class 2 bike lanes even though these made up 40% of the count locations.
Count at Large In a single day, 7985 bicyclists were counted during the 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM count periods at a total of 34 locations. Six locations accounted for 72% of riders in the count.

While 20% of bicyclists were on on-street bicycle lanes (Class 2.)
And 11% were on roads with shared lane markings (Class 3) or no bicycle infrastructure. For a detailed reference on the 4 different classifications of bikeways, see page 16

GOLETA & U.C.S.B.: KEY OBSERVATIONS
The three locations with the largest number of riders in the count primarily served UCSB: Pardall near Embarcadero Del Norte (40% of all total bicyclists), El Colegio Bike Path (13%), and the Obern Bike Path near Henley Gate (6%). The Goleta location with the greatest number of cyclists was on Hollister between Fairview and Orange (2%). The second and third greatest number were counted near Hollister between Evanshire and Turnpike (1%) and Cathedral Oaks between Fairview and Trudi (1%).

Riding Behavior
According to the latest U.S. Census American Community Survey, 5.2% of people reported biking to work in the City of Santa Barbara as their primary form of transportation and 4.0% in the county reported the same (average of all trips to work in a given week). This figure captures one way of measuring cycling but doesn’t capture trips taken for occasional commute trips, for pleasure or recreation, for errands, or other non-work destinations.
Although not collected at all locations, other observations included: unhelmeted riding (46%), sidewalk riding (8%), and wrong way riding (7%).

separated or off-road facilities such as class 1 multi-use paths or class 4 protected bike lanes. As our region continues to make new cycling investments, it is essential to build bikeways such as these that people of all ages, genders and levels of cycling experience feel comfortable and using.
El Colegio path and Pardall tunnel are examples of class 1 bikeways

Count Methodology Thirty-four count locations were chosen based on: popular cycling routes and existing or planned bicycle infrastructure. The count intentionally included a mix of off-street bicycle paths (Class 1), on-street bicycle lanes (Class 2), and bicycles routes marked only with shared lane markings (Class 3) or no markings (no infrastructure). Two counts were conducted in one day, a morning count from 7 – 9 a.m. and an evening count from 4 to 6 p.m. These time periods were selected to capture typical peak travel time on roadways. The technique used for counting bicyclists was the screenline method. This methodology is supported and was developed by the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project and is used in large-scale counts throughout L.A. County. The method entails drawing an imaginary line across a roadway from sidewalk to sidewalk and counting each bicyclist as they “pass the line”. In addition to counting the bicyclist and their direction of travel, additional characteristics collected include gender, helmet use, biking on the sidewalk or biking against the direction motor traffic. Volunteers were recruited via SBBIKE’s email newsletter and social media and registered on volunteer.com. Thorough training of volunteers was conducted to ensure that the count was done consistently and effectively. Volunteers attended one in-person training that explained the screenline methodology and addressed volunteer questions. The few volunteers who were not able to attend we’re given a digital copy of the training to review. Copies of the screenline and count forms used by volunteers in the count can be viewed at the end of this report.

Bikeway Classifications Class
Caltrans name and definition
Notes
1
A Class I Multi Use Path provides a completely separated right of way for the exclusive use of bicycle and pedestrians with crossflow minimized
Generally, bike paths should be used to serve corridors not served by streets and highways or where wide right of way exists, permitting such facilities to be constructed away from the influence of parallel streets. The minimum separation is five feet plus the standard shoulder width
2
A Class II Bike Lane provides a striped lane for one-way travel on a street of highway
These are established along streets in corridors where there is significant bicycle demand, and where there are distinct needs that can be served by them. The minimum width is 4 feet, except on roads where posted speeds are greater than 40 MPH, where the bike lane must be at least 6 feet wide. This includes marked buffer with if less than without the Class IV Bikeway separation between the bike lane and the vehicular traffic lane
3
A Class III Bike Route is a signed shared roadway that provides for shared use with pedestrians or motor vehicle traffic.
Bike routes are shared facilities which serve either to: (a) Provide continuity to other bicycle facilities; or (b) Designate preferred routes through high demand corridors. There is nothing different about the roadway, only that it has signs (including “share the road signs” or “sharrows” painted on the road) identifying it as a bike route.
4
A Class IV Separated Bikeway is a bikeway for the exclusive use of bicycles with a specific type of separation between it and vehicular trafficb
Also knowns as protected bike lanes and cycle tracks, these are on-street facilities reserved for use by bicyclists, with physical separation between the bikeway and car lanes. Physical separation can include concrete curbs, landscaping, parking lanes, bollards, or other vertical elementsb
