In an effort to monitor non-motorized modes of transportation, a comprehensive data-gathering effort, initiated by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC), has been conducted.
Phase I was conducted in the fall of 2002 and the spring/summer of 2003, Phase II, was conducted in the spring/summer of 2004 and Phase III was conducted in the spring/summer of 2005.

The results are presented in two sections, one for the five boroughs of New York City, and one for the five suburban counties
