DVRPC Bike Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) and Connectivity Analysis

This regional screening tool was developed to help identify and rank roads where bicycle facility improvements would have the greatest local and regional connectivity benefit to the low-stress bicycle network. LTS is a road classification scheme based on the estimated comfort of bicyclists in the traffic stream. DVRPC’s LTS assignment is based on the number of lanes, effective vehicle speed, and the presence and type of bicycle facility on the road segment.

This repository contains two parts:

Scroll Story

The default landing page for the LTS project is a scrolling story that explains what the Bike LTS analysis is for, why it exists and how it can be useful. This is meant to provide background information and serve as a launching point for the interactive analysis map. The story uses the scrollmagic library to handle scrolling interactions, mapboxgl js for mapping and HTML, CSS and Javascript for everything else.

Analysis Map

An update to the old ESRI AGO LTS map that improves performance, adds more features and streamlines the user experience. We moved away from the AGO platform to a custom solution built with mapboxgl js and custom vector tiles. The app is bootstrapped from the sidebar-float-template-wide folder in resuable components.
