Comment:
Chapter lists the data items that should be reported to describe and report the count data that was collected. Each count record should be accompanied by a corresponding station location record describing the subject and location of the count as described in the previous section. One record will be provided for each calendar day for which data is submitted. The format is intended to be flexible and allow for counts gathered at a variety of time intervals.

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
