Let's make human-powered travel safe, accessible, and efficient for everyone.

Unlock community insights to build better, safer streets and trails.

Data Partnerships

Better communities for cyclists and pedestrians

The Strava dataset is the leading platform for active transportation data. Metro aggregates, de-identifies and contextualizes this dataset to help make communities, streets and trails better for anyone on foot or on a bike.

We work with urban and trail planners, outdoor recreation teams, city governments and safe-infrastructure advocates to understand mobility patterns, identify opportunities for investment and evaluate the impact of infrastructure changes – access to Strava Metro is free of charge.

Testimonials

“It's like having thousands of counters set up all across the city.”

Transportation Planner, City of Stonnington

“Before the [Strava] dataset there was only this word-of-mouth way to know whether cyclists were using corridors.”

CDOT Transport Engineer

“It has helped identify cases where bike facilities could be added to accommodate existing bike traffic. When you pull up some actual data it resonates well with engineers.”

Utah DOT Active Transportation Manager

“We have been using Strava Metro to identify and explore bike use on trails and routes where we do not currently collect bike counts directly. This is helping us prioritize where to continue extending our bike count program to.”
