Tampa has recently introduced a new “Eco-Counter,” a digital display unit designed to count passing pedestrians and bicyclists. This innovative tool shows daily and annual totals, aiming to encourage residents to adopt a healthier lifestyle by opting for more active modes of transportation.
Currently located at the intersection of North Boulevard and West Cass Street, the Eco-Counter serves as a valuable resource for tracking usage patterns and trends along the Green Spine, according to a statement from the city. By showcasing these figures, the counter aims to motivate residents to leave their cars behind and choose biking as a healthier alternative, contributing to the ongoing data collection efforts.
