Our mission
Metro builds products to empower urban planners, city governments, safe infrastructure advocates and academics to understand mobility patterns, identify opportunities for investment and evaluate the impact of infrastructure changes.
Why Metro
And it’s growing every year. Our community actively contributes because they know logging their commutes is a vote for safer infrastructure.
Millions of Strava members walk, run, and ride around the world every day – to get to home or work, or to stay healthy, and upload their activities via smartphone, watch, wearable device or computer.

Read the case studies“It's like having thousands of counters set up all across the city.”– Jesica Cubillos, Planner, City of Victoria
“We have no other mechanism to collect data at this scale. It's immensely helpful for our work.”– David Mair, Planner, City of Red Deer
“Before the [Strava] dataset there was only this word-of-mouth way to know whether cyclists were using corridors.”– Ken Brubaker, Colorado DOT
Millions of people upload their rides and runs to Strava every week via their smartphone or GPS device. Metro aggregates and de-identifies this data and then partners with departments of transportation and city planning groups to improve infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians.
How it works
Use Metro’s new web platform to explore trends, visualize patterns and draw insights from mobility data – right from your browser. No GIS expertise required.
How it works
Strava Metro data can be easily downloaded and consumed in common GIS formats that fit right into your workflow, such as shapefiles and file geodatabases.
