A National Study of Dockless Transportation: Land Use & Demographic Correlates of Trip Hotspots & Mode Shift

This webinar presented research on a cross-sectional land use model of dockless scooter trip generation and its application to identify areas with high propensity for scooter use in California.

American Micromobility Panel: Part 1

Research Product Type

Research Report

This report presents preliminary findings from the American Micromobility Panel, the largest study of shared micromobility services in the United States incorporating riders from multiple major operators.

Integrating Micromobility with Public Transit: A Case Study of the California Bay Area

Research Product Type

Research Report

This research covered environmental audits at 18 BART stations, an online survey of BART and micromobility users, and interviews with government, industry, and community stakeholders. Recommendations were made for: station design, including greater availability of shared micromobility vehicles, more affordable secure parking for personal micromobility, better signage and wayfinding, protected bike lanes and consistent design standards for bike facilities.

Sustainability of Micromobility Services: VMT Reduction and Transit Connection

Principal Investigator Dillon Fitch-Polse, Ph.D.
University of California, Davis

In this project, the research team will quantify the magnitude of micromobility service effects on vehicle miles of travel (VMT) through triangulation and synthesis of three primary travel behaviors: mode substitution, transit connection, and driving/ride-hailing behavior.
