This indicator monitors annual average daily traffic volumes at 21 permanent traffic count stations across the region. Data were acquired from the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s Traffic Data Program. Traffic volumes indicate demand on a component of our publicly-funded infrastructure, helping planners to properly design and construct transportation networks. Our roads are used for commuting, tourism, and transportation of goods, among other purposes. Traffic data can help us understand how shifts in the economy affect our communities and our transportation needs.
