We collected 6,068 completed questionnaires from users in more than 30 communities in British Columbia. Surveys were completed in person at trailheads and online through partner channels, with support from local trail associations, tourism organizations, and community partners. Explore province-wide results across all respondents. View community-level reports. Review interpretations alongside charts and cross-tabulations.

Mobile location analytics adds an additional lens on when and where trail areas are used at a broad scale. It helps communities understand patterns such as seasonal rhythms and peak periods that are hard to capture through surveys alone. Explore broad, region-level use patterns over time. Identify seasonal trends and peak periods. Understand what MLA suggests about broad use patterns, not exact trail counts.

Focus groups provide the context behind the numbers. They capture how users and partners interpret the riding experience and identify priorities related to stewardship, maintenance capacity, access, signage and wayfinding, safety, crowding, and trade-offs as trail networks grow. Add context behind the numbers by capturing how trail managers interpret the riding experience. Surface priorities around stewardship, maintenance capacity, access, signage and wayfinding, and safety.
