Permanent counts stations are used in trend analysis of traffic patterns around the city. The stations allow us to create seasonal and weekly variations for traffic data so that we can normalize any portable studies that are of short duration.

Every year in May, The City conducts the Central Business District (CBD) cordon count. The cordon count is performed at 31 locations around the CBD over a three week time period, collecting data on how people travel into and out of downtown Calgary. The CBD cordon circles the downtown with the Bow River to the north and the railway tracks to the south and from 11 Street in the west to the Elbow River in the east. These data represent the total number of persons entering (inbound) and exiting (outbound) at each location, by modes, during a 16 hour time period. This raw dataset is NOT normalized to average weekday. It is a snapshot of the inbound and outbound activity on a single day at these locations and reflects conditions specific to that day such as construction, lane closures, weather, etc. Therefore, data may not be directly comparable between locations or years.
*Attachment is a summary of the inbound and outbound totals and mode of travel.* For additional information on cordon counts, see Central Business District Cordon Count.

The traffic volume flow map illustrates the Average Annual Weekday Traffic (AAWT), the average number of vehicles in 24 hours adjusted for seasonal variation to represent the average weekday. The numbers on the map are two-way totals. Additional information can be found at: https://www.calgary.ca/Transportation/TP/Pages/Planning/Transportation-Data/Traffic-volume-flow-maps.aspx

Every year in May, The City conducts the Central Business District (CBD) cordon count. The cordon count is performed at 31 locations around the CBD over a four week time period, collecting data on how people travel into and out of downtown Calgary. The CBD cordon circles the downtown with the Bow River to the north and the railway tracks to the south and from 11 Street in the west to the Elbow River in the east. These data represent the total number of persons entering (inbound) and exiting (outbound) at each location, by modes, during a 16 hour time period.

Avoid downtown parking fees, exercise regularly, bypass traffic congestion, and discover Calgary's river pathways and bikeways. Seven Park and Bike sites are located five to eight kilometres from downtown Ca​lgary. They feature direct access from major roads and great connections to river pathways.

Trends in Calgarians’ choices for travelling to work, and to determine if major infrastructure changes have resulted in a change in behaviour.

This data was collected as part of The City of Calgary's two-year shared electric scooter and dockless bike share pilots.

The trips in this dataset occurred between July 1st, 2019 and September 30th, 2019. Excluded from this dataset are trips that lasted fewer than 30 seconds or 100 metres, and trips where the geospatial data quality made it unsuitable for analysis.

Trip start times have been generalized to 1-hour intervals. Trip origins and destinations have been generalized by tiling the city with hexagonal bins measuring 30,000 square metres each. The latitude and longitude coordinates are the centrepoint of the corresponding bin.

Traffic incidents within Calgary updated every 10 minutes. For more information, see the Calgary Traffic Report page
