Cambridge's sustained Vision Zero efforts helped increase bicycle ridership by 36% since 2014 while decreasing crashes by 4%

Percent change in bicycle ridership and crashes involving bicycles compared to 2014 baseline

Bicycle Ridership: Cambridge maintains a bicycle count dashboard with data updated generally every other year; the most recent data is from 2024. 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 Cambridge). Crashes Involving Bicycles: This analysis used the percent change in bicycle crashes sourced from MassDOT compared to the municipality's baseline (2014 for Cambridge).
