The process begins with making changes to the network and updating the maps and website with that information. Next, goals are set for the 3-year data collection cycle and preliminary corridors are identified for the upcoming data collection season. If there is construction, the data collection may be delayed for another season. Data collection entails preparing data collection forms and folders, conducting funs, analyzing data, updating maps, and then updating the web with the new data. The data collection process is repeated six times over three years (twice a year).
