Abstract:

The purpose of this guide is to make it easier for users to understand how the Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG) format
describes the information that should be collected when counting multimodal users, as well as how to format that
information correctly. Successfully encoding count data in the TMG format is very important for obtaining the greatest
value from collected counts. As with the motorized formats, the TMG nonmotorized format will be the required format for
data submitted to the Traffic Monitoring Analysis System (TMAS), a national database maintained by the Federal Highway
Administration that is currently being extended to receive nonmotorized count data. This guide walks through the TMG
format and provides examples from a variety of counting scenarios
