Eco Totem in Cambridge

We're excited to announce that bicycle count data from the Broadway Eco-Totem Bicycle Counter is now available to download through the Open Data Portal! Counts are automatically transferred to the dataset on a daily basis.

Installed in June 2015, the “Eco-Totem” counter (made by the Montreal-based company Eco-Counter) counts cyclists via in-ground loop detectors embedded under the pavement of Broadway near Kendall Square. The device displays on a monitor how many cyclists pass by, and data is transferred daily from the device to Cambridge's Open Data Portal. Funding for this project was generously provided by the Helen & William Mazer Foundation.
