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.

Annual Investigation of Nationwide Mobility Trends: “The Pulse of The Nation” on the 3 Revolutions

  • Principal Investigator Giovanni Circella, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
The study will shed light on the evolving impacts of new mobility options on various components of travel behavior and vehicle ownership, how these solutions expand travel options and the circumstances under which travelers increase travel multimodality and may reduce their reliance on the use of private vehicles.

Dataset: Sacramento bike share surveys

Research Product Type
Data
This tabular dataset describes the travel behavior and travel mode related attitudes of residents and bike-share users in the greater Sacramento region.

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.

Integrating Micromobility with Public Transportation

  • Principal Investigator Beth Ferguson
  • University of California, Davis
This project builds off of a previous project nearing completion (Designing Public Transit Stations to Enhance Access to First/Last Mile Mode Choices) by continuing stakeholder interviews, updating ArcGIS map files (bicycle lane, operator zones, transit stations), exploring travel behavior, and monitoring best practices to increase micromobility and public transit ridership post-COVID-19.

North American Micromobility Panel

  • Principal Investigator Dillon Fitch-Polse, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Davis
This project focuses on answering research questions pertaining to what travel modes do people shift from when they use micromobility services, how frequently do people use micromobility services, how different are users and non-users in terms of attitudes and travel behavior, potential barriers for widespread adoption, and how variations in micromobility services differ in their appeal to users and in the attitudes of non-users.

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.
