Bike & Pedestrian Counts

Bicycle and pedestrian counts help us, the City of Savannah, Chatham County, and the Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization keep track of the ways people are moving around our region and assist in planning efforts for safer places for people to bike and walk.

Counts will take place between May 19 and June 13. Prior to your scheduled shift you will receive an introductory presentation and count sheets. To view available shifts, please visit our Volunteer sign up page.

If there is a location that you would like to assist with but the scheduled days do not work for you, please contact caila@bikewalksavannah.org to arrange different dates. Times must remain the same.

If there is a location you think should be counted, but is not on this list, please email caila@bikewalksavannah.org.

Eighth Annual Matt’s Moon River Cruise

The Eighth Annual Matt’s Moon River Cruise, presented by the Law Office of Joseph J. Steffen, will be held virtually May 21-26 — from wherever you are.

The event is named in memory of Matt Kohler, who was hit from behind by a driver on July 26, 2012 while riding his bike on U.S. Highway 80 in Bloomingdale.

On Friday, May 22, we will post a variety of routes ranging from 4-25 miles for all to enjoy in Savannah. These rides do not need to be completed on Friday — rather, they are a suggestion of routes to take at your leisure. Participants are encouraged to post photos on social media, tagging @BikeWalkSav, #MMRC8, #BikeWalkSAV, #BikesUnite. Want to share your route from outside Savannah? Email us at info@bikewalksavannah.org.

The goal for Matt’s Moon River Cruise is to educate the public on how to safely share the road with people who bike and promote efforts to make our streets safer for all road users. Donations are requested to support our education programs and efforts with New Standard Cycles, providing bikes for people in need of transportation.

Helmets are highly recommended for any rides.
