Traffic and Transportation Analysis
The Traffic and Transportation Analysis

of the county roadways throughout Whatcom County and can include
other modes of transportation besides private and commercial vehicles.
In order to accomplish this task, the crew use traffic counters,
review signs and striping for roadways, and review and investigate
traffic accidents.
Recommendations, made and implemented with public input, provide
for safe operation of roads and county rights-of-way.

bus drivers, commuters, and the many tourists who visit Whatcom
County each year.
