Cleveland Bike Share the Potential and Possibility
Cleveland Bike Share The Potential and Possibility Spring 2012 Weatherhead School of Management - MBA Practicum in Sustainable Value and Social Entrepreneurship (ORBH 430B) Gabriel Forte, Amogh Garg, Indrajeet Ghatge, David Hanna, Kandy Hricik, MBA Candidates May 2012 Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to gather and summarize information on current United States bike sharing programs including initiation, funding, initial steps, sustainability, long term revenue sources, cost and demand factors, user demographics and the critical success factors. In addition, interviews were conducted with local stakeholders regarding potential work on bike sharing and to gain insight into the general climate regarding the potential for bike sharing programs. A small group meeting was also conducted with local biking advocates to identify potential barriers to success and assist in developing next steps. Summaries of the research, interviews and potential barriers are included within the report. Next Steps 1. Establish position and governance structure to oversee research, planning and align partnerships for Cleveland bike-sharing program While there is considerable interest among local stakeholders and potential grant and sponsorship funding sources, the project requires a formal leader with an appropriately connected governing body such as a recognized agency, existing committee or carefully selected board of directors to provide structure and accountability for moving the project forward. After discussion with the project sponsors, Chris Bongorno of University Circle Inc. and Brad Chase of GreenCityBlueLake (GCBL), and other local stakeholders such as Chris Alvarado, President of Bike Cleveland, and John Mitterholzer of the Gund Foundation, and a review of the evolution of other bike sharing programs, it is our recommendation that ownership of the research and planning should be conducted under the direction of Bike Cleveland, an advocacy organization for the biking community in Cleveland. -

ENSTU 471 Fall 2016 Developing a Bike-Share Program for Salinas and CSUMB Introduction Bike-share programs are alternate forms of transportation most commonly found on college campuses or in city centers. These programs allow citizens, visitors, students and others to check-out a bike from a self-serve station and take it from point A to point B. Bike-share programs have grown worldwide at an increasing rate within the past decade. Image 1 shows that in 2001 there were only four worldwide cities that adopted a bike-share program, but that number dramatically increased from the years 2002 to 2014, when there were eight-hundred and fifty-five worldwide cities with bike-share programs. -
GOVERNING MICRO-MOBILITY: a NATIONWIDE ASSESSMENT of ELECTRIC SCOOTER REGULATIONS --Manuscript Draft
Transportation Research Record GOVERNING MICRO-MOBILITY: A NATIONWIDE ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRIC SCOOTER REGULATIONS --Manuscript Draft-- Full Title: GOVERNING MICRO-MOBILITY: A NATIONWIDE ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRIC SCOOTER REGULATIONS Abstract: The character of urban transportation and mobility is dramatically changing in part because of the explosive growth of shared-use modes (SUM) of travel such as ridesourcing bikesharing, carsharing and, more recently, electronic (e-)scooter-sharing. Although these new forms of mobility are freeing riders from mode- and ownership- constrained choices of travel, they are also creating tremendous uncertainty among planners and policymakers who are struggling to both understand and manage their potential impacts. Developing, adopting and enforcing regulations that aim to maximize transportation options while simultaneously ensuring public safety and the public good is proving to be a challenging task for municipal transportation planners given the rapid pace at which new systems of travel are evolving. Greater coordination between cities and the private and public sectors via the sharing of policy responses and transportation technology information will help facilitate collective learning and smoother transitions toward growing alternative transportation options in cities. Toward this end, the present paper draws from contemporary news articles, municipal and statewide policies and professional reports to provide timely guidance related to e- scooter sharing programs including information about vendors, vehicles, -

2017 Station Blvd Transportation Plan Update
City of Aurora Station Boulevard Transit-Oriented Development – Transportation Plan Update December 5, 2017 Prepared in Partnership by: The Regional Transportation Authority The City of Aurora, IL Project Background and Overview The Station Boulevard Transportation Plan Update, completed by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) through its Community Planning Program, and in partnership with the City of Aurora (City), examines multi-modal connections to the Route 59 Metra station for residential neighborhoods along Station Boulevard. Local knowledge, input and guidance was provided through the development of this plan by a steering committee comprised of representatives from the neighborhood, including residents and developers, as well as Metra staff. Additionally, Pace Suburban Bus and BNSF Railway staff offered technical assistance as needed through the duration of the project. The Station Boulevard Corridor is a Transit-Oriented Development located just south of the Route 59 Metra Station in Aurora. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is defined by the RTA as moderate to high-density, mixed-use communities located within close proximity of a rail or bus station designed to maximize walkability and transit access. TOD provides residents with increased mobility options, a variety of commercial outlets and jobs within a short distance of their homes while the compact style of development preserves open space. The Route 59 station is served by Metra Commuter Rail, connecting the residents along Station Boulevard with Downtown Chicago and points in between. This plan recommends multi-modal improvements that will enhance resident access to and from the station and is an update to the “Station Boulevard Shuttle” plan developed in 2009 for the City. -
Dockless Bikes: Regulation Breakdown
Brandon Bordenkircher & Riley L. O’Neil Twelve Tone Consulting [email protected] Dockless Bikes: Regulation Breakdown Photo by Riley L. O’Neil Introduction Over the past year, the streets of many international cities have been flooded with dockless bikes and that wave is currently hitting the U.S. Unlike current docking systems in the U.S., dockless bikes allow riders to end their rides and park anywhere they like. Dockless got its start in the U.S. in 2012, when Buffalo, NY launched their system using Social Bicycles (now called JUMP) and operated by Shared Mobility, Inc (now called Reddy Bikeshare) (Galligano, 2015). This paper looks at many positive and negative externalities dockless bikes can bring: offering affordable transit; ability to solve the issue of the last mile; saving cities money and making transportation more equitable by servicing transit deserts; and offering cities rider data with the potential to help city planners implement new bike infrastructure. The negative externalities deal with: bikes blocking public ways, thrown into trees and rivers; stories of companies launching without a proper permit and without notifying city officials; safety issues; reports of lack of maintenance on broken bikes; and problems of inconsistent availability and locations. Present day Amsterdam, a city with vast cycling culture that first introduced the historic “white” bike share in 1965, allowed dockless companies to launch without solidifying regulations. The launch went poorly, resulting in complete clutter (the opposite of the city's reputation) and the city eventually banned dockless bikes. The lesson to learn from Amsterdam is: no matter how 1 Brandon Bordenkircher & Riley L. -
