Do Dock-based and Dockless Bikesharing Systems Provide Equitable Access for Disadvantaged Communities?

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
Researchers at the University of California, Davis analyzed the difference in service levels among dock-based and dockless systems in the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles and analyzed the spatial distribution of service areas, availability of bikes and bike idle times, trip statistics, rebalancing, and other metrics to understand how well or poorly these systems serve designated “communities of concern”.

Dock‐based and Dockless Bikesharing Systems: Analysis of Equitable Access for Disadvantaged Communities

  • Principal Investigator Miguel Jaller, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
The objectives of this project are to expand the previous work to evaluate the potential benefits of dockless systems to improve accessibility to disadvantaged communities, and to compare them with dock‐based systems. Specifically, the project will analyze the difference in service levels among dock‐based and dockless systems.
