Bicycle Ridership: Somerville maintains a bicycle count dashboard. To ensure comparability to other municipalities, who use different approaches to counting and have different overall volume, this analysis uses the percent change in the municipality's ridership compared to the earliest available baseline year (2014 for Somerville). Crashes Involving Bicycles: This analysis used the percent change in bicycle crashes sourced from MassDOT compared to the municipality's baseline (2014 for Somerville).
