Strava Metro platform and collaborate with the team
SAN
FRANCISCO, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Strava,
the leading digital platform for athletes with more than 125
million members, today announced the launch of Metro for Academic
Researchers Program. This program is specifically designed for
college and university students, as well as academic researchers,
to support projects that aim to enhance biking and pedestrian
infrastructure in both urban and rural settings.
Strava Metro provides de-identified, aggregated data on bicycle
and pedestrian trips, offering valuable insights to transportation
planners, advocacy groups, and researchers. By leveraging Strava
Metro's extensive data, participants can gain a deep understanding
of travel patterns, identify infrastructure gaps, and assess the
effectiveness of existing routes and facilities.
Currently, Strava Metro collaborates with more than 3,500 city
planners, governmental agencies and infrastructure decision-makers
worldwide, who collectively impact nearly 1 billion people. With
this new initiative, Strava aims to empower academic researchers by
providing them access to critical data and fostering innovation in
human-powered transportation.
Program Details
Applications for the Metro for Academic Researchers Program are
now open and will close on October 18,
2024. Accepted participants will receive:
- One-year access to the Strava Metro platform: Unlock
comprehensive data to support your research.
- Interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities: Connect
with academic researchers, transportation experts, urban planners,
environmental scientists, and public health professionals.
- Support from the Strava Metro team: Benefit from online
training sessions and dedicated check-in meetings to ensure your

Accepted applicants will be notified in early 2025 of their
selection. All applications will be reviewed by a Strava committee,
which will score and award successful admissions for the 2025 class
of academic researchers in the program.
Four years ago, Strava made Metro freely accessible to partner
organizations dedicated to improving cycling and pedestrian
experiences. Since then, the Strava Metro partner network has
expanded to over 3,500 organizations globally, all leveraging
insights from Strava's community to enhance the safety, quality,
and accessibility of trails and streets.
