 Monitoring and evaluation
 Monitoring
 Continued monitoring and review of bike riding and walking outcomes in Noosa is important to understand the success of the
 NCWSIP and if any modifications are required.

 Accurate data is required to establish a baseline for network usage and the success of initiatives. Table 15 identifies the tasks
 required to effectively monitor participation levels. Once baseline data is established, targets should be developed to measure
 the success of the NCWSIP.

     1. Continue to monitor existing count sites and install new counters
     on strategic off-road and on-road active transport routes to track
     participation levels.

     2. Investigate and implement ways to regularly and cost-effectively
     collate resident and visitor travel behaviour information.                         ✓                               ✓

     4. Review and track active transport performance indicators.
     Analyse data collected to inform:

     •    Why people travel the way they do and potential ways to
          increase active transport mode share (eg targeted marketing
          and programs aimed at overcoming concerns with bike riding or

     •
          walking).
          Understanding of usage patterns (eg high use routes, roads
          or road sections being avoided and how upgrades affect

          infrastructure.
     •    Refinement of the prioritisation of works identified in the
          NCWSIP.
