Methodology
StreetLight analyzed the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia using 2018 data (the most recent year available for national data). For per-capita data we used pedalcyclist fatality data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. StreetLight’s Bicycle Miles Traveled (BMT) data is an indexed value calculated from StreetLight InSight® metrics, multiplying the relative number of bike trips in each state by the average trip length.
