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”.

Do Slow Streets Encourage More Dockless Travel? Evidence from Electric Scooter Usage in Four Cities

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
A research team at the University of Southern California collaborated with Lime, an e-scooter company, to analyze Slow Streets programs in the cities of Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland. Using two statistical approaches, they examined dockless e-scooter travel at four different times of day and overall weekly and monthly averages of dockless e-scooter trips. 

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.

E-bike Incentive Programs Reduce GHGs and Support Recreational Travel

Research Product Type
Policy Brief
As yet, little is known about the efficacy of e-bike incentive programs in changing travel behavior. To understand the potential of these programs in this area, UC Davis researchers analyzed survey data from rebate recipients in Northern California and evaluated rebate programs for effects of e-bike ownership on travel behavior.
