Traffic Counter Program

The Palouse RTPO has four Vehicular (Radar Recorders) Traffic Counters available to help local member agencies perform various traffic counting and data collection activities. Additionally, the Palouse RTPO has three Bike- Pedestrian traffic counters, and can also provide additional counters on a need basis. This program is created to encourage and improve the ongoing traffic data collection efforts for the region through member agencies. To help compliment, the Palouse RTPO is also undertaking multiple initiatives to collect local and regional traffic data counts to identify and improve the future transportation needs of the region.

The counters are infrared-radar based that eliminates a need to lay tubes on the street and provides traffic counts, speeds, length of the car and can generate a report for high speeding areas.

If you’re a local member city, county or other local agencies within Asotin, Columbia, Garfield and Whitman County, you can rent our Traffic Counters for free as an effort to support our local agencies.
