Strava Metro data is sourced from activities recorded by Strava members. When someone uses Strava to track a ride, run, walk, or hike, that activity may contribute to the Strava Metro dataset if it is shared publicly.
Strava Metro includes activities that are visible to everyone or to followers on Strava. Activities that are marked as private, or activities from accounts that have been deleted, are not included. All data made available through Strava Metro is aggregated and de-identified to protect individual privacy.
The Metro dataset reflects real-world movement patterns based on how people choose to ride, walk, or run in their communities. These aggregated activity patterns can help inform planning, safety, and infrastructure discussions by showing where people are active.
Strava members control how their activities are shared through their privacy settings in the Strava app. If you are interested in contributing activities, you can learn more or create an account at strava.com.
