The 2018 Benchmarking Report is a continuation of the 5 editions of the Benchmarking Report that were published by the Alliance for Biking and Walking. In compiling data for the 6th edition, the League of American Bicyclists chose to include as much data as possible, even if a community did not provide a response to a survey distributed for the 2018 Benchmarking Report.
The table below describes the data sources used for providing data for all communities included in the Benchmarking Report. The most recent data available for any reported data was used. If you have questions about the data used, please contact Ken McLeod at ken@bikeleague.org.
