About 400 volunteers are needed to help count the number of people who ride bicycles or walk to their destinations during an annual three-day survey, starting Tuesday, September 29.

Volunteer registration is now open and many locations still have shifts that have not been filled.

Counts will be taken in more than 50 cities throughout the state. The data collected helps WSDOT improve bicycling and walking policies, projects and funding in Washington.

Those interested in helping can learn more online, by emailing Cascade Bicycle Club or by calling 503-805-1064.
