Project Description: StreetLight uses Big Data analytics to analyze travel patterns such as traffic volumes, vehicles speeds, and origin-destination patterns across the city. Through a partnership with PPACG and El Paso County, the City currently has a license to access vehicle data from the StreetLight platform. Staff routinely uses StreetLight to determine traffic volumes on roadways and at intersections, to evaluate speed profiles along city roadways, and to estimate cut-through traffic in neighborhoods.
The StreetLight platform also includes bicycle and pedestrian data. The current StreetLight license does not give the City access to this data and this contract with StreetLight would give the City access to this bicycle and pedestrian data. The existing partnership with PPACG allows the City to simply add access to this data using its current license.
Access to this bicycle and pedestrian data would help Traffic Engineering evaluate and prioritize nonmotorized projects that target safety and accessibility by:
- Scanning bicycle and pedestrian travel across the city to identify and prioritize high-value locations for infrastructure changes
- Evaluating year-over-year activity to demonstrate trends across the City of Colorado Springs
- Estimating bicycle and pedestrian activity without the cost and sample size limitations of temporary counters and surveys
The City requests the PPRTA Board approve this contract with Streetlight Data for $60,231.00.

Comments: StreetLight was selected through an RFP by PPACG. The City and El Paso County provide partial funding for the base package. The City is adding the Active Transportation Metrics at a discounted rate. In order to obtain the Active Transportation Metrics from another vendor, the City would need to pay the full price for access to the data platform and then pay additional fee for the Active Transportation Metrics. The contract will be renewed each year so the City has the option to drop the access if we feel the data is not useful.
