WAMPO Reports

  • Commuter Flows: This report compiles data about the locations of workers’ primary (non-home) workplaces and residences. Together, these data provide an understanding of commuter flows, showing the interconnectedness of communities and the interchange of workers and services between areas.


  • Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress: WAMPO has developed a Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (BLTS) score for the streets within the WAMPO region. The purpose of the map is to better show where bicyclists may have more trouble on the road and how bicyclists and traffic are intertwined. 


  • Vision Zero: Vision Zero is a transportation safety philosophy based on the principle that loss of life is not an acceptable price to pay for mobility. Among those concerned with traffic safety, Vision Zero has become a useful framework to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries in the transportation system with a proactive and preventative approach.


  • Historical Population Trends 1900-2020: An interactive report with data compiled from the decennial census to showcase population trends in the WAMPO region over the past century.

Forming a walking habit is comfortable with the partnership and accountability of friendship, family, neighbors, co-worker or dog. Walking-and-talking is relaxing for mental health and stimulating to body’s health.
