51 Conclusion The information provided in Section 5 is intended to demonstrate the importance of collecting and utilizing data in non-motorized transportation planning and design, while supporting efforts to communicate the merits of non-motorized investments. This section along with Section 3 and 4 also provide information as to the use of existing data sources in determining where non-motorized projects are in high demand or need. For example, demographic and socioeconomic data from U.S. Census surveys show where populations with greater mobility needs exist, whereas land use data, employment and population estimates, provide information on where the greatest number of non-motorized trips may be made.
