2020 Traffic Counting Report

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission's 2020 Summer traffic count program shifted its focus to collect traffic volumes at the same 115 locations that were previously counted in the Summer of 2019. By doing so, we were able to compare traffic volumes and understand the impacts on travel in our region during the pandemic. Overall, all 15 Cape Cod communities experienced a decrease in traffic volumes in 2020 compared to a normal summer season.
