'the world's largest transportation dataset'

The data on Metro 3.0 allows city planners to analyse when, where and how citizens are commuting by bike and on foot to help with building infrastructure and identifying areas where cycling and walking provisions need to be improved - city planners can sign up to get access to the data which shows popular or avoided routes, peak commute times, crossing times and origin/destination zones.

To coincide with the launch of the updated platform, Strava have also mined the 84 million commutes uploaded in 2018 to give us some stats about the UK's commuting habits.

Strava also said there was "a clear correlation between the amount invested in cycling infrastructure in urban environments and the concentration of cycling commuters within that city’s population", with cities that have invested more in cycling infrastructure generally having more cycle commuters.

The new Strava Metro 3.0 platform enables a wealth of information which local authorities can use to enhance infrastructure and keep us safe and motivated to ride or run to work.
