ABSTRACT
Since the inception of bike share in 2010, the number of public bike share systems
has rapidly increased across the United States (Howland et al., 2017). However, low-
income and minority communities have experienced significant barriers to bike sharing,
which has been reflected in their low usage rates compared to white populations (Broach,
2017). The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) Bike Share
Equity Study seeks to identify policies, best practices, and operation strategies that LA
Metro may follow to create a bike share program that is equitable for low-income and minority communities. Through the composition and compilation of a literature review of academic research, case studies of existing bike share systems, and strengths-weaknesses-
opportunities-threats (SWOT) analysis of the LA Metro Bike Share program (Metro Bike
Share), a set of recommendations were determined to enhance the equitability of Metro
Bike Share. The recommendations derive from six themes of bike share equity that were
identified in the study, which include: equity-oriented organizational structure and policies, financial access, spatial access, technological access, education and outreach, and local partnerships.

ix CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Across the nation, a new form of shared micro-mobility - bike share - has rapidly
grown in popularity over the previous decade. It has been regarded that bike share can
provide an essential mobility option for city residents across the United States (NACTO,
2017). However, evidence shows that low-income and minority populations experience
significant barriers to bike sharing, which has been reflected in their low usage rates
compared to white populations. The underrepresentation of low-income and minority populations in both access and use is a major detriment to communities nationwide and their respective bike share system (Broach, 2017). The purpose of the Los Angeles
Metropolitan Transportation Authority Bike Share Equity Study (Metro Equity Study) is to investigate the equitability of the Los Angeles County bike share system. Specifically, the study will investigate the equitable access of the Los Angeles Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (LA Metro) Bike Share system and analyze the organizational and policy structure of the program to determine how the organization may enhance infrastructure implementation and usage within disadvantaged communities.
On March 1, 2018, the LA Metro Board of Directors made a commitment to the residents of Los Angeles County to address the issue of equitable opportunity through a multi-point Metro Equity Platform. As a transportation leader in the Southern California region, LA Metro is committed to focusing on the equality of outcome rather than equal treatment of its communities. It has been defined in the LA Metro Equity Platform Board
Report that “at its core, inequality exists when there are fundamental differences in access to opportunity, not just with respect to where you begin, but in your capacity to improve
1 from that starting position” (LA Metro Board Report 2017-0912, 2018, P.2). In the future, it will be critical to continue developing the LA Metro Bike Share system around the basis of the four pillars of the Metro Equity Platform Framework, which include: define and measure, listen and learn, focus and deliver, and train and grow.
• Define and Measure: Pursue an inclusive conversation that commits to
establishing meaningful goals around a shared definition of equality; define
metrics to evaluate outcomes, including investment decisions; ensure
consideration at the front-end; and seek out and involve the diverse range of
voices necessary for collaboration on the aforementioned actions.
• Listen and Learn: Establish comprehensive, multiple forums to engage the
community meaningfully and actively in defining, measuring, and acting on
equitable outcomes.
• Focus and Deliver: Focus on incorporating equity where LA Metro leads as a
transportation planner, operator, builder, and funder; and where LA Metro
partners with local agencies, businesses, community advocates, and foundations.
• Train and Grow: Provide training to establish a ‘top-to-bottom’ ownership of
LA Metro’s new equity-based agenda (LA Metro Board Report 2017-0912,
2018).
The Metro Equity Study seeks to promote the four pillars of the Metro Equity
Platform Framework and extend LA Metro’s equity efforts to include the Metro Bike
Share system. Beginning with a literature review of academic research pertaining to equity in bike share, the Metro Equity Study outlines the existing conditions and equity deficiencies of bike share in Los Angeles County, and then uses a set of four case studies
2 of equitable bike share systems to form policy- and operation-based equity strategies to improve the Metro Bike Share program. Through the completion of a literature review and set of case studies, the Metro Equity Study was able to identify six themes of equitable bike share systems, which include: equity-oriented organizational structure and policies, financial access, spatial access, technological access, education and outreach, and local partnerships. The policy- and operation-based equity strategies were then developed upon the foundation of the six themes of equitable bike share systems.
3 CHAPTER 2
METHODOLOGY
The Metro Equity Study identifies recommendations and strategies that will strengthen LA Metro’s bicycle sharing program to become more equitable to all residents of Los Angeles County. The recommendations and strategies delve into the existing organizational structure, policies, and operation strategies utilized by LA Metro, and analyze the Metro Bike Share Phase III Expansion and for future opportunities. The study applies a qualitative methodology that utilizes a literature review of previous research and case studies of existing bike sharing programs.
The methodology for Metro Equity Study begins with a literature review of academic articles that delve into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of bike share equitability. Specifically, the study seeks to utilize literature that researched the barriers that low-income and minority communities experience when using bike share systems, how equity may be implemented at the organizational level through policies, and how equity may be implemented through various operations strategies.
Upon completing the literature review, the study then identified and outlined the existing conditions of the LA Metro Bike Share system. The existing conditions analysis utilized information included in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 LA Metro Bike Share
Business Plan (2018), 2018 Quarter (Q) 1 through Q4 Metro Bike Share trip data (2018), and a list of low-income and disadvantaged community census tracts – as defined by
Assembly Bill (AB) 1550 and Senate Bill (SB) 535, respectively. The existing conditions analysis sought to report the potential strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
4 presented to the equitability of LA Metro bike share system as they proceed into the
Phase III expansion.
With the existing conditions outlined, the study then utilizes a set of four case studies to identify how other bike share systems across the nation have embraced the concept of equity and integrated it into various policies and operations strategies. When selecting case studies, the study sought to analyze bike share systems that have been nationally recognized for equity-based efforts by the National Association of City
Transportation Officials (NACTO), Better Bike Share Partnership (BBSP), and other national planning organizations. Upon finalizing a list of reputable bike share systems, the study proceeded to apply a vetting process that sought to find systems that had comparable demographics to Los Angeles County within their respective service areas.
Due to the unique nature of Los Angeles’ demography, the vetting process was simplified to identify cities with a comparable minority, or non-white, population percentage. Using the case studies identified in Table 1, the study captures the best practices and other strategies that were utilized to make each respective bike share system more equitable.
Upon completing the case studies and literature review, the study analyzes the most successful policies and operational-based strategies that have been employed to increase the bike share ridership of low-income and minority communities.

With the existing conditions of LA Metro’s bike share system clearly drawn out
and having identified the future expansion plans of the system, the study then utilized the
findings to analyze the LA Metro bike share system and offer future policy and
operational-based equity recommendations. The final deliverable consists of final report
that includes: an equity analysis of LA Metro’s bike share system and organizational
policies, best practices and recommended policies, case studies, and future opportunities
through a comparative analysis between the LA Metro Bike Share Expansion and Rail
Expansion plans.
6 CHAPTER 3
WHAT IS BIKE SHARE?
Bike share is a form of shared mobility that provides the short-term use of bicycles to visitors, commuters, and/or other type of travelers. Bike share systems are intended to enhance the network of the multimodal transportation system by providing an alternative mode to the traditional vehicular, pedestrian, and public transportation ways of travel (NACTO, 2017).
Figure 1. Bicycle Rider Using Metro Bike Share (Source: LA Metro Flickr)
Since the inception of bike share across the United States in 2010, the number of bike share companies, systems, and ridership has increased tremendously year after year.
In fact, the nation’s bike sharing market is projected to be valued at $6.3 billion by 2020 as the number of private- and publicly-owned bike share systems continue to grow nationally (Shaheen et al., 2018). In 2017, 35 million bike share trips were completed, which is a 25-percent increase from 2016. Since 2010, over 123 million trips have been
7 completed using bike share bikes in the United States. The vast increase in trips may be
attributed to the rapidly growing national bike share system, as shown in Figure 2, which
doubled in 2017 (approximately 100,000 bikes) from 42,500 bikes at the end of 2016. Of
the 100,000 national bike share fleet at the end of 2017, approximately 44,000 bikes were
‘dockless’. Dockless bike share systems do not require a docking station, are unlocked
using a smartphone application, are typically restricted to defined city districts, and may
be parked at bike racks or along the sidewalk. In 2017, dockless bikes accounted for
approximately 44-percent of the national bike share fleet (NACTO, 2017).
Figure 2. Map of United States Bike Share Systems (Source: NACTO, 2017)
As noted by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO),
only 32-percent of the cities with station-based bike share systems have an affordable housing or income-based discount program (2017). In 2016, the amount of subsidized bike share programs increased over 33-percent in cities throughout the nation (NACTO,
8 2017). Previous research, conducted by Hoe and Kaloustian, has shown that bike share
systems may serve as a potentially low-cost transportation mode, more reliable than
transit, and a prospective alternative to bicycle ownership (2014). As it is generally the
intent of bike share to provide an alternate form of mobility for all residents, it is critical
to consider how these systems are currently being used and for what types of trips
(NACTO, 2017). In 2017, research conducted by NACTO revealed that 48-percent of station-based bike share trips took place during the AM or PM peak hours (7-9 AM or 4-
6 PM, respectively) and 76-percent of all trips occurred during the weekday, which is depicted in Figure 3 (2017). This research suggests that bike share is currently being utilized by daily commuters. If presented with the proper financial support and education, it may be feasible that bike share could become a low-cost and reliable alternative mode of transportation for low-income and minority commuters. In fact, NACTO suggests that
the national increase in ridership also stems from efforts around the country to make bike
share more affordable (2017).

WHAT IS EQUITY?
The difference between the terms ‘equity’ and ‘equality’ have been widely debated by philosophers, sociologists, and planners of the past (Bronfenbrenner, 1973).
However, during a February 15, 2018 LA Metro Executive Management Committee meeting, County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl succinctly defined ‘equity’ as maintaining the goal to achieve “equality of outcome” opposed to the equal treatment of all (Linton,
2018). This study has embraced the definition provided by County Supervisor Kuehl and focuses on the provision of equality of outcomes, opportunity, and access for all Los
Angeles County residents.
10 During the February 15, 2018 Executive Management Committee meeting, the
Committee approved the Metro Equity Platform Framework (Framework), which outlines
the department’s approach to “access to opportunity.” The core concept of the
Framework addresses how the agency may better address disparity among neighborhoods
and individuals living in Los Angeles County and how they may be better equipped to
seize various opportunities. LA Metro has outlined that as a transportation leader and
steward of the community, the agency must address these disparities and improve the
‘access to opportunity’ for all LA County residents (LA Metro Board Report 2017-0912,
2018).
For the purposes of this study, Senate Bill (SB) 535 and Assembly Bill (AB) 1550 were used to define and display disadvantaged and low-income communities. In 2012,
California State Legislature passed SB 535 (de Leon), which directed 25-percent of the revenue collected from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to be used for projects that benefit disadvantaged communities, as defined by the California Environmental
Protection Agency (CalEPA), and 10-percent for projects within disadvantaged communities (California Legislative Information, 2012). In 2016, AB 1550 (Gomez) was
passed to amend the initial investment allocation plan, which would provide 25-percent
of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund revenue to projects located within disadvantaged
communities and 5-percent to projects that would benefit these communities (California
Legislative Information, 2016). The influence of SB 535 and AB 1550 has resulted in the
genesis of CalEnviroScreen 3.0, which is a tool used by CalEPA to identify low-income census tracts in California that have been disproportionately burdened by pollutants, adverse environmental conditions, and prevalence of certain health conditions.
11 CHAPTER 4
METRO BIKE SHARE OVERVIEW
VISION
“The leading principle [sic] of Metro’s regional bike share vision is to provide new and existing transit users with an accessible, reliable and efficient mobility option as an integrated part of Los Angeles County’s world class transportation system.” (LA
Metro, 2018).

INTRODUCTION
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) is committed toward enhancing and expanding their bike share system with the intent to create an equitable network that extends to all income classes and minority communities.
12 In recent years, LA Metro has revealed their full commitment toward enhancing
affordable public transportation access for low-income residents by adopting the Transit-
Oriented Communities (TOC) policy and establishing the Metro Equity Platform. The
TOC policy established goals for LA Metro to improve active transportation facilities,
increase affordable housing around bus stops and rail stations, add protections against
displacement, and enhance community-engagement efforts; and similarly, the Metro
Equity Platform was adopted with the intent to improve the access to bus, rail, and bike
share for all Los Angeles County residents with an emphasis on low-income and minority communities. Moving forward, it is critical that LA Metro proceeds with inclusive, well-
informed investments that ensure the success and provision of equitable access to its bike
share program. This study will seek to identify policies, best practices, and strategies that
LA Metro may follow to create a successful bike share program that is equitable for low-
income and minority communities. The potential consequences of not addressing the
equity deficiencies in LA Metro’s bike share program would include: misalignment with
LA Metro policies, missed opportunities to provide meaningful first- and last-mile
connections to transit, and falling short of providing a true multimodal transportation
network for Los Angeles County residents.
On July 7, 2016, LA Metro launched the Metro Bike Share system in Downtown
LA with the vision to expand to 99 stations and 1,580 bikes during the Phase I
(Downtown LA) and II (Pasadena) pilot periods. Since the initial launch in 2016, LA
Metro’s bike share network has expanded to the Port of LA, Venice, Marina Del Rey,
Culver City, and various locations throughout the City of LA as shown in Table 2 and
Figure 5. Since the system’s inception, 685,388 total trips have been taken, 65,092 passes
13 have been sold, and 2,172,352 miles were traveled, which has resulted in a reduction of
2,063,735 pounds of CO2 (LA Metro, 2019). Existing LA Metro bike share system
utilizes a combination of ‘smart dock’ and ‘smart bike’ technology. The ‘smart dock’
system incorporates the check-in/check-out technology into the station docks, and the
‘smart bike’ system allows users to forego the trip limitations of station docks and end their trips by locking bikes into standard bike racks (LA Metro, 2016).

Additionally, in 2016, Measure JJJ was passed, which initiated the development of the aforementioned TOC program in the City of Los Angeles. The TOC policy
16 established goals for LA Metro, which include: improved walking and biking conditions,
increased affordable housing around bus stops and rail stations, protections against
residential and commercial displacement, and incentives for community-engagement
during the planning and economic development process. Then in 2018, LA Metro
adopted the Metro Equity Platform with the intent to improve the equitability of the Los
Angeles public transportation system (bus, rail, and bike share) for low-income and minority communities. Specifically, the Metro Equity Platform provides a forum for LA
Metro to work with disadvantaged communities through active listening and engagement
across all of Metro’s decision-making processes (Hingorani, 2018).
On May 24, 2018, the LA Metro Board also approved to activate the Metro Bike
Share Phase III Expansion, which will allocate $35,477,704 to their bike share system for
reducing fares (from $3.50 to $1.75), capital costs, pre-launch activities, and on-going
operations and maintenance. This will increase the total contract value of their bike share
systems from $54,402,988 to $89,880,692 in the areas of Culver City, Marina del Rey,
West Los Angeles, and Downtown Los Angeles. The Phase III expansion added 791
bicycles to the Metro Bike Share inventory, and by 2020, LA Metro plans to expand the
system total to 5,468 bicycles.
On November 8, 2018, LA Metro initiated the Electric Metro Bike pilot program,
which introduced a limited number of electric pedal-assist bikes to the Metro Bike Share
fleet. The pedal-assist bikes are powered by an electric motor, which is engaged when the
user begins pedaling. Although the pilot period ended in March 2019, LA Metro plans to
add pedal-assist bikes to the Downtown Los Angeles and Central Los Angeles fleets in
late 2019 (Metro Bike Share).
17
REGIONAL BIKE SHARE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Table 3. Metro Bike Share Goals (Source: LA Metro, 2015)
Bike Share Goals Accessible - the system is available and easy to use for anyone who wants to bike. Barriers to join the system are minimized and the process of checking out and returning bikes is as simple as possible. The system also promotes equity with an affordable fare structure or fare assistance program and by making stations available in a variety of neighborhoods. Reliable - users can easily locate, check out, and return bikes when and where they need to. The bikes and stations are maintained in good working condition and the software and data connectivity are reliable to minimize outages. Efficient - the system is cost-competitive with other travel modes, both for passengers and for Metro as an organization. Bike share is a cost-effective means of providing a world class transportation system: fare recovery ratios, the amount of the cost of serving each trip that is covered by user fees, are higher for bikeshare than all but the best- performing rail and bus systems. The system will pursue a variety of funding options to ensure that it is financially sustainable. Finally, bike share leverages existing transit resources to better serve existing bus and rail passengers and attract new bike share users to Metro’s bus and rail services. Integrated – bike share is an integrated part of the public transportation system, alongside bus and rail. An integrated bike share system makes Metro’s bus and rail services more cost competitive by efficiently serving first- and last-mile connections, thereby reducing the time costs to passengers of transfers and long walks. Bike share increases capacity on trains by providing an alternative to passengers bringing their bikes on board. Bike share can also replace short-distance bus or rail trips, freeing seats and reducing dwell times in dense and congested areas.
In 2015, the Regional Bike Share Implementation Plan for Los Angeles County
(2015) (Implementation Plan) was prepared by Fehr and Peers for the Los Angeles
Metropolitan Transportation Agency prior to the launch of the Metro bike share system.
18 The plan includes a regional bike share vision and goals, business plan, bike share
readiness analysis, and Phase I and II expansion plans. Specifically, the goals that have
been identified for the Metro Bike Share program are shown in Table 3 and include: being accessible, reliable, efficient, and integrated. The plan builds on findings from LA
Metro’s First-Last Mile Strategic Plan and perceives bike share as a viable opportunity for riders to use for their first- and last-mile connections. In 2012, 4-percent of users biked, and 66-percent walked to their respective train stations. In 2013, this demographic grew to 6-percent, and fell to 64-percent, respectively (LA Metro, 2015). In order to preserve the demographic of active transportation users, it is critical that LA Metro plans for bike share locations that are integrated with public transportation and have meaningful first- and last-mile connections. This means treating bus and transit stops as mobility hubs that are integrated with bike share, car share, pedestrian infrastructure, bicycle parking facilities, and are equitable for all types of users. As noted in the study, equity means reducing barriers for financial access, physical access, and information access (marketing and outreach). Previous research has shown that bike share systems have been identified by disadvantaged groups as a potentially lower-cost mode of transportation, more reliable than transit; and an alternative to bicycle ownership, which is costly and many low-income residences lack secure bike storage (Hoe and Kaloustian,
2014).
The operations model outlined in the Implementation Plan (2015) identifies that the bike share system will be owned and operated by LA Metro. However, it is stated that a goal of the program is to have all parts of the regional system participate in the bike share program, which will require coordination with other local jurisdictions within Los
19 Angeles County. The fare structure of the LA Metro Bike Share program was determined by the multiagency Bikeshare Working Group, which generated three different alternatives for consideration – ‘Integrated as Metro Service’, ‘Integrated as Muni’, and
‘Conventional’. The selected ‘Conventional’ fare structure, shown in Figure 6, is similar to other bike share systems across the nation, which are not integrated with other forms of public transportation and are restrictive to the sole use of bike share (LA Metro, 2016).
Currently, the Metro bike share system offers reduced fares for senior citizens (ages 62 and above), persons with disabilities, college and vocational students, and K-12 students
(must be older than 16 year of age to ride). Reduced fares passes are offered in two options – 30-day pass for $5 (70.6-percent fare reduction) and an annual pass for $50 (66- percent fare reduction). However, the reduced fare pass option has not been expanded to also include low-income residents or patrons of the Low-Income Fare is Easy (LIFE) program (LA Metro, LIFE). The Metro bike share system is also compatible with the regional Transit Access Pass (TAP) public transportation fare payment system, which is a reloadable smart card used for electronic fare payment.
Figure 6. Metro Bike Share Fare Structure (Source: LA Metro, Metro Bike Share)
20 The Implementation Plan (2015) also offers equity strategies that should be considered by LA Metro when further developing the bicycle sharing system. These strategies include: lowering barriers through financial access (i.e. subsidized fare program for low-income users and cash option payments), increasing physical access through station siting, and increasing informational access through marketing and outreach for low-income communities. It is noted that “providing low-cost access to bicycles, bike share could help reduce barriers to bicycling and encourage bike use in historically underserved communities.” A primary strategy offered to overcome financial access is through TAP card integration, which will link the bike share program to the large population of underserved transit users. To improve physical access, the Implementation
Plan (2015) recommends siting stations near neighborhoods with transit dependent residents, affordable housing, public transit lines, and off-campus college housing. In doing so, it is suggested that the provision of bike sharing stations could improve the multimodal network of the adjacent community while providing a diverse range of trip- making opportunities. Additionally, the Implementation Plan (2015) includes a spatial analysis of the share of minority and low-income populations located within a quarter- mile and half-mile radius of the Downtown Los Angeles bike share stations, as shown in
Figures 7 and 8. It is also recommended that promotional materials are provided in multiple languages and partnerships are established with community organizations, large employers, and unions to increase information access for low-income communities (LA
Metro, 2015).

Lastly, the Implementation Plan (2015) includes a bike share readiness analysis
that utilizes a Regional Bike Share Suitability Index (Suitability Index) to rank and
prioritize potential communities for future expansion. The Suitability Index weighs a set
of metrics associated with high bicycle ridership that include: housing density, population
density, employment density, intersection density, and transit frequency. The presence of
financial, political, and community support were also factors that were considered in the
ranking system. Using a scoring system from one to five, the scores were then geocoded
into a map, as shown in Figure 9. The five highest ranking communities for future expansion were Central Los Angeles (4.43), University Park (3.96), Venice (3.93),
Hermosa Beach (3.84), and West Hollywood (3.94) (LA Metro, 2016). Of the top five
22 ranking communities, the Metro bike share service area has since been expanded to
Central Los Angeles, University Park, and Venice.

METRO BIKE SHARE BUSINESS PLAN FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020
In 2018, LA Metro updated the Metro Bike Share business plan with the Metro
Bike Share Business Plan Fiscal Year 2019-2020 (Business Plan), which seeks to reevaluate the system’s market and target audiences, establish a planning framework, and
23 redefine system performance measures. Additionally, the Business Plan identifies that LA
Metro will contribute up to 50-percent of the capital costs of equipment and the remaining funds will be provided by the respective local agency (2018).
The planning framework and implementation process of the Metro Bike Share system is a data-driven model that utilizes a set of evaluation criteria to determine whether a prospective city is suitable for bike share services. These processes begin with an annual call for interest to join the Metro Bike Share program; then LA Metro conducts a community preparedness survey and initial assessment of key evaluation criteria
(Suitability Index); identifies the appropriate system size and layout; and establishes an implementation strategy that prioritizes the most suitable cities through the use of a
Prioritization Index. It is stated in the Business Plan (2018) that “prioritization is based on outcomes of the technical analysis, equity, and the jurisdiction’s commitment to sustainable transportation” (P. 11). Specifically, the Priority Index includes equity considerations that incorporate the use of metrics such as the density of poverty, presence of diverse populations, low-income jobs, and a defined outreach program targeting low- income and minority communities. Once an agency is selected and the bike share system is implemented, LA Metro conducts an on-going assessment every six months to evaluate the performance metrics identified in Table 4 and perform interventions if necessary.
24 Table 4. Metro Bike Share Performance Metrics (Source: LA Metro, 2018)
System Area Performance Metrics Ridership • Average rides per bike per day Operations • Operating costs; • Fare box recovery; and • Average operating cost per trip Equity • % of diverse populations; and • % eligible for Metro’s LIFE program Support of Bicycling • Planned bike facility or development (< 1 year) Station Performance Metrics Ridership • Average rides per bike per day Distance to Nearest Station • Stations within a five-minute walk Maintenance Issues • Amount of vandalism, water ponding, etc. Solar Issues • Lack of sun for solar equipment Number of Docks at • Number of docks with improper supply Full/Empty Events Visibility • Clearly visible to patrons
Currently, the Business Plan (2018) continues to use the Suitability Index a determinant for whether a community is bike share ready. As previously stated, the
Suitability Index combines an analysis of five different factors to assess for high ridership potential, operating characteristics, and potential costs (LA Metro, 2016). However, using the Suitability Index largely dismisses the analysis of disadvantaged communities.
Previous research has shown that the location of bicycle share docking stations has been cited as a major geographic barrier among lower socioeconomic groups as determined by the Pampalon Deprivation Index (2011), which uses indicators such as educational attainment, employment to population ratio, and average income (Hosford and Winters,
2018). In fact, researchers Karner and Marcantonio (2017) have found that transportation investments, including bicycle lanes, are disproportionately lacking in disadvantaged communities. Given that one of the five factors of the Suitability Index is bicycle
25 infrastructure, disadvantaged communities may be disproportionately represented as an
unsuitable environment for station siting and unintentionally overlooked for bike share
investments.
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES BIKE AMBASSADORS PROJECT
In 2016, LA Metro entered a partnership with the Los Angeles Department of
Transportation (LADOT), Multicultural Communities for Mobility (MCM), and Los
Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) to conduct an equity-focused outreach
project with funding from BBSP. The partnership resulted in the Downtown Los Angeles
Bike Ambassadors (Ambassadors) Project, which sought to study, engage, and inform
low-income and minority communities about the new Metro bike share system. MCM, now known as People for Mobility Justice (PMJ), played an integral role in identifying bike share accessibility and institutional barriers for low-income and minority communities by leading the outreach component of the Ambassadors Project.
Specifically, MCM was able to engage the community by creating multilingual outreach materials in English and Spanish, conducting workshops, designing surveys, and forming a focus group to learn from and inform these individuals about the future of bike share in downtown Los Angeles. Through a year of conducting outreach and engaging low- income and minority communities, MCM and LACBC derived the recommendations provided below.
MCM/LACBC Equity Recommendations:
1. Develop a low-income pass, senior pass, and student pass.
2. Remove credit card barrier.
26 3. Expand and engage in more consistent, culturally relevant, and linguistically
appropriate outreach in low-income communities and communities of color.
4. Partner with community groups to do this outreach and utilize the lessons learned
from this partnership to make the partnership between groups and agencies
equitable.
5. Make station siting a more community-oriented engagement process.
6. Address technological divide by not relying on internet for signing up and
accessing the bike share information. Explore potential for in-person sign up.
7. Ensure the languages on kiosks and imagery on those kiosks reflect the
communities where the kiosks are located (Contreras et al., 2017).
STRENGTHS-WEAKNESSES-OPPORTUNITIES-THREATS ANALYSIS
The Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) Analysis Chapter is an equity analysis of the Metro Bike Share system and assessment of the aspects that may be improved upon and considered moving into the future. The SWOT analysis considers the
Regional Bike Share Implementation Plan (2015), Downtown Los Angeles Bike
Ambassadors Project (2016), and Metro Bike Share Business Plan FY 2019-2020 (2018).
The findings of this chapter were also used to inform the recommendations offered in the
Metro Bike Share Equity Study. The SWOT analysis findings are provided below.
Strengths:
• Prioritization assessment of potential Metro Bike Share expansion areas with
equity metrics and considerations;
• Previous partnership with PMJ/MCM and LACBC; and
27 • Phase III funding, which allocated $35.48 million toward system expansion.
Weaknesses:
• Equity metrics are not included in the Suitability Index, which occurs in the
beginning of the Metro Bike Share planning process;
• A fare subsidy program is not offered to low-income residents of Los Angeles
County;
• Lack of community outreach prior to the implementation of bike share stations;
and
• Metro Bike Share fares are not cost-competitive with Metro transit, of which both
offer $1.75 fares for a one-way pass and 30-minute ride, respectively.
Opportunities:
• Previous partnership with PMJ/MCM and LACBC;
• Desirability and potential of bike share within an effective multimodal network;
• The growth and potential for future bike share technology (i.e. dockless bike
share); and
• The availability of active transportation funding programs such as – BBSP grants
and California state planning and infrastructure grants.
Threats:
• Obtaining support from low-income and minority communities to embrace Metro
Bike Share as an asset to their neighborhoods;
• Gentrification and increased cost of living throughout Los Angeles County;
• Lack of education about the Metro Bike Share system; and
• Incomplete bicycle networks within marginalized communities.
28 Through the SWOT analysis, the Metro Bike Share Equity Study has identified several significant findings that should be considered to improve the LA Metro’s bike share equity policies and future infrastructure. For example, as identified in the Business
Plan Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020, the Metro Bike Share planning process begins with an annual call for interest, the community is assessed using a community preparedness survey and Suitability Index, then a Prioritization Index is used to develop an implementation strategy for the suitable communities. The SWOT analysis has identified that although the Prioritization Index includes equity metrics, the preceding Suitability
Index does not consider the presence of low-income or minority communities. Cognizant of such, the current Metro Bike Share development process may disproportionately identify marginalized communities as an unsuitable environment for bike share (through the Suitability Index) prior to weighing the influence of any equity metrics. In fact, it was found in the Literature Review Chapter that transportation investments are disproportionately lacking in disadvantaged communities, which would further suppress these communities as a suitable environment for bike share through Metro’s Suitability
Index. Additionally, the SWOT analysis has identified that significant weaknesses of the
Metro Bike Share system include the absence of a low-income fare subsidy program, lack of outreach prior to system implementation, and the fare for bike share use ($1.75 for 30 minutes) is not cost-competitive with LA Metro rail transit ($1.75 for a one-way trip).
Moving into the future, LA Metro must consider improving upon these weaknesses by identifying potential strategies to implement a low-income fare subsidy program and leveraging their previous partnership with PMJ/MCM and LACBC to further integrate community outreach during the Metro Bike Share implementation process.
29 CHAPTER 5
LITERATURE REVIEW
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY BARRIERS
Previous research has shown that disadvantaged communities face significant
barriers to bike sharing. In contrast, evidence has shown that white populations and high-
income socioeconomic groups have been overrepresented in both access and use of bike
share systems (McNeil et al., 2017). In 2016, Brown conducted surveys and held focus
groups that addressed the major barriers to successful bike share systems. For all bike
share users, the data revealed that the three biggest barriers to bicycling were fear of a
traffic collision, fear of robbery and assault, and pavement condition (Brown, 2016).
However, for minority users (African American and Hispanic), notable barriers included:
fear of being stranded with a broken bicycle, and fear of being profiled by the police
(Brown, 2016). Additionally, previous research conducted by Steward, et al. (2013)
shows that other barriers to low-income and minority bike share users include: mobile phone availability, credit card requirements, and equipment liability. Cognizant of such, it is critical that LA Metro considers adopting appropriate measure to its policies and bike share operations to account for these barriers for low-income and minority communities.
EQUITY AT THE ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL
The expansion of bike share systems across the United States and around the world have increased rapidly over the previous decade (DeMaio, 2009). However, existing literature is extremely limited in the availability of research pertaining to the impact of bike share systems on surrounding communities. Previous research primarily
30 focuses on the logistics and operation costs of implementing bike share systems, which is
a detriment to serving low-income communities. In 2016, Portland State University
sought to address this research deficiency with an analysis of 75 public bike share
systems located in the United States that intended to provide equitable access to all communities and income groups (Howland et al., 2016). Howland et al.’s research has found that only one in five bike share systems have written policies pertaining to equity and have incorporated such into station siting (included in 68-percent of systems with
equity policies), fee structure (72-percent), marketing (57-percent); and system
operations, data collection, and analysis (42-percent) (2016). However, user fees,
operational funding, access, and outreach to users remain the largest barriers to bike share
system equity. The Metro Equity Study seeks to identify innovative strategies being used
by cities to modernize fare payment systems and identify best practices when conducting
outreach within low-income and minority communities.
EQUITY AT THE OPERATIONS LEVEL
Previous research has shown that inadequate outreach and education efforts are
significant causes of the low usage rate of bike share systems within disadvantaged
communities. Through surveys of minority and low-income communities in Philadelphia,
Chicago, and Brooklyn, McNeil et al. explain that high costs of membership and
concerns about liability for bike share equipment were major barriers for approximately
48-percent and 52-percent of respondents, respectively. However, only 31-percent of the
respondents knew about the availability of low-income subsidy programs for reduced- price memberships, and 34-percent of low-income minority respondents acknowledged
31 that the lack of education on how to use bike share was a major barrier to using the
system. In contrast, only 19-percent of high-income minority respondents and 7-percent
of high-income white respondents cited a lack of education on operating the bike share
system as a barrier (McNeil et al, 2017). McNeil et al. also indicated that low-income minority respondents were significantly more likely to use bike share if certain operational improvements were adopted, which included: discounted membership or use options (80-percent), access to free or low-cost helmets (72-percent), cash payment
options (67-percent), wayfinding sign for safe bicycle routes (70-percent), and organized rides for ‘people like me’ (71-percent). When considering operational improvements for low-income and minority riders, it is critical to understand that their experience using bike share systems may differ from other socioeconomic groups. For instance, a lack of education may be mitigated through the provision of non-English outreach and operating materials. Through the analysis of LA Metro’s bike share system, it is critical to consider operational improvements that will address the specific challenges that may be experienced by low-income and minority communities.
Additionally, previous research has placed an emphasis on bike share station siting as a critical factor in the participation and access to bike share systems for minority and low-income communities (Smith et al., 2015). In 2015, Smith et al. (2015) conducted an analysis of bike share systems across the United States to discover that only four of 35 studied bike share systems were operating over 40-percent of their bike share stations within communities categorized as having high economic hardship (Smith et al., 2015),
Smith et al.’s (2015) findings concluded that only 12-percent of bike share systems were located within communities of high economic hardship. Similarly, Ursaki and Aultman-
32 Hall (2015) conducted an analysis of bike share equity across cities in the United States to find that there is an inequitable distribution of bike share access based on race, education, and income. It is suggested that corrective action should include educational resources and public subsidies for bike share stations that are located within low-income communities (Ursaki and Aultman-Hall, 2015). It is critical that this research explores additional strategies to ensure the implementation and success of bike share stations located within low-income communities.
In addition to considering the operational challenges of the existing bike share system, it is critical to understand how innovation and future bike share technology may pose a threat to the equality of LA Metro’s bike share system. Currently, innovations in bike share technology are changing the way that bicycles are distributed, installed, powered, and tracked (DeMaio, 2009). Researcher Paul DeMaio conducted a study in
2009 to define three generations of bike share over the past 45 years, and analyze the difference between public, private, university, non-profit, transportation agency (quasi- governmental), and advertising companies (2009). In DeMaio’s research, he determines that in the future, the distribution of the bicycle fleet will shift toward high demand stations through innovative pricing programs (create “push” and “pull” stations which will either encourage trips to leave or arrive at stations based on the demand for bikes), decreasing implementation and operational costs, and increasing partnerships with private companies to expand bike share networks. These technological and operational improvements present opportunities for bike share systems to further expand in low- income communities and/or offer subsidized rates to these residents in the future.
33 CHAPTER 6
CASE STUDIES
The Case Studies Chapter delves into the equity-based policy and operation strategies that are utilized by the Chicago Divvy, Philadelphia Indego, New York Citi
Bike, and San Francisco Bay Area FordGo bicycle sharing systems. Each bike share systems were selected due to their national recognition for equity-based efforts by
NACTO, BBSP, and other national planning organizations; and comparable non-white populations with Los Angeles County demographics. Each case study was completed using a combination primary and secondary sources, which include: academic research, studies and data collected by the respective bike share agency, and press releases. The best practices and other strategies used to improve the equitability of each bike share system is catalogued in Table 5 below.
CHICAGO – DIVVY FOR EVERYONE
MISSION STATEMENT
“Divvy for Everyone (D4E) is Chicago Department of Transportation’s (CDOT) program to help Chicagoans facing financial hardship to use the Divvy system. Although the price of a membership breaks down to just pennies per day, the annual cost may be unmanageable to those with limited income. D4E provides a one-time, subsidized annual membership of $5.00 for qualifying Chicagoans. The program also provides a cash payment system, as almost 13% of Chicagoans do not have debit or credit cards required for a standard Divvy membership” (Meet Divvy).
34
Figure 10. Rider Using a Divvy Bicycle (Source: Chicago Tribune)
OVERVIEW
In June 2013, CDOT launched the Divvy bike share system with approximately
70 stations. Since the genesis of Divvy, the bike share system has since grown to 6,000 bicycles across 580 stations. On July 7, 2015, CDOT launched Divvy’s equity initiative –
Divvy for Everyone (D4E), which is a citywide effort that seeks to provide subsidized bike share services to Chicago’s low-income residents. Since the launch of the D4E initiative, the program has received considerable press coverage by major media news outlets, which has considerably enhanced its outreach and promotional efforts. Although
CDOT had a goal of 750 members within the first year of the D4E initiative, the program received over 650 sign ups in the first month and over 1,000 members by the winter season (McNeil et al., 2017). As of December 2016, the D4E program has received over
1,900 sign ups with 900 active members. Of these individuals, approximately 35-percent
35 were African American, 37-percent white, and 15-percent Hispanic. 82-percent of the
D4E members used Divvy at least once and 53-percent utilized the system over ten times.
EQUITY-BASED POLICIES
The goals of the D4E initiative are to address financial barriers to Divvy membership, create an accessible enrollment process, market and administer the program with local partners and stakeholders, and to create a form of affordable transportation to those who need it most. In order to achieve these goals, CDOT has taken a comprehensive approach, which includes: proactive planning and station siting, proactive hiring, youth training and job opportunities, outreach in Chicago public schools, creating a system that is accessible for low-income and individuals without a bank account, and conducting citywide outreach (Woodall, 2016). The D4E initiative has created an organizational culture that emphasizes creating a bike share system that values financial
(i.e. cash option payments) and spatial (i.e. station siting in low-income communities) access, partnerships, and outreach. The partnerships necessary to make D4E a successful program included: Local Initiatives Support Coalition (LISC) Chicago to administer the program; Slow Roll Chicago, CDOT’s Bicycling Ambassadors, and Go Bronzeville for outreach and education support; Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois as system sponsors; BBSP to initially fund the program; and other local organizations (McNeil et al., 2017). From July 2015 to October 2016, Slow Roll Chicago and Go Bronzeville held a total of 125 outreach events with a cumulative of 5,017 participants (Woodall, 2016).
When measuring the feasibility of potential bike share station locations, CDOT utilizes heat mapping and a combination of two sets of metrics – standard and equity
36 criteria. In the set of standard criteria, the considered metrics include: the existing bikeways network, population aged 20-39, density of population and housing, and the existing walk/bike mode share. In the set if equity criteria, CDOT includes: household income, non-white population, educational attainment, and households without vehicles.
During a 2016 bike share expansion, the use of these feasibility metrics resulted in a six- percent increase from 46-percent to 53-percent for services to non-white populations, eight-percent increase from 56-percent to 64-percent for services provided to Chicago residents within 0.5-miles of a public transit station, and services provided to 11 of 15 communities with a median household income below $30,000 a year (Woodall, 2016).
EQUITY-BASED OPERATIONS STRATEGIES
The primary equity-based operations strategy being utilized by the D4E initiative is to provide a subsidy program for low-income residents (Woodall, 2016). The D4E low- income subsidy program offers a $5 first-year (5-percent of the full price) and $50 second-year membership (50-percent of the full price), which is a significant discount from the traditional pricing structure. In order to be eligible for the D4E program, an individual must have a household income 300-percent or less of the federal poverty guideline. Figure 11 below outlines the eligibility structure per family size. In addition to providing a subsidized annual membership rate, the D4E initiative has partnered with
LISC, of whom administers the program and operates 12 Financial Opportunity Centers
(FOCs) in Chicago where resident may enroll into the D4E program. The services offered by LISC’s FOCs allow low-income residents to pay with cash, offer assistance with activation, and provide information about bicycling safety and wayfinding (McNeil et al.,
37 2017). Initially, the Divvy Bike share system required a credit card to use the system or register for a membership, which posed a significant financial barrier for low-income
Chicago residents. In 2012, almost 300,000 residents did not have a bank account (up to
30-percent in certain areas) and were initially excluded from utilizing the Divvy bike share network.

PHILADELPHIA – INDEGO30 ACCESS
MISSION STATEMENT
“To provide bike share as a high quality, reliable, affordable, flexible, and healthy transportation option that gives the user access to the City and our diverse communities”
(Indego Overview).
VISION
“A transportation system that benefits everyone. It is a system that is safe, affordable, accessible, and reliable at moving Philadelphians, visitors, and commerce so neighborhoods thrive, people are healthy, and the economy grows” (Indego Overview).
38
Figure 12. Riders Posing in Front of Indego Bicycles (Source: BBSP Flickr)
OVERVIEW
In 2015, the City of Philadelphia launched the Indego bike share system with 60 stations and 600 bikes, which has since expanded to 128 stations and 1,300 bikes (oTIS).
The Indego bike share system is owned by the City of Philadelphia and operated by the
Mayor’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability, also known as oTIS.
The bike share effort began in 2013, when ex-Mayor Michael Nutter tasked oTIS, previously Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities, to introduce the 2013 Bike
Share Strategic Plan and ensure that bike share served all Philadelphia residents, including low-income and minority communities (McNeil et al., 2017). Philadelphia’s integration of equity considerations from the planning stage makes the Indego system unique amongst all major bike share systems in Northern America (McNeil et al., 2017).
39 On October 10, 2018, oTIS announced that the city will begin expanding the Indego bike share program through the 2018 Indego Business Plan Update, which is a component of the city’s comprehensive Connect Strategic Transportation Plan (2018). In the Strategic
Transportation Plan, it is outlined that the launch of Indego has given the city new opportunities to engage with communities to better understand transportation needs and objectives. Through the aforementioned community engagement, Indego has “piloted numerous innovations that make it the most equitable and inclusive bike share system in
North America” (oTIS, 2018, p. 9).
EQUITY-BASED POLICIES
The 2018 Indego Business Plan Update outlines the vision, mission, values, and goals for the bike share system that is primarily centered around the themes of equity and inclusion. In order to achieve a truly equitable and inclusive system, the 2018 Indego
Business Plan Update has identified the following goals and values: opportunity and access, equity, health and safety, and finance and transparency. Of the goals and values, the most apparent are opportunity and access and equity as it pertains to providing the best possible bike share system for low-income and minority residents. In order to achieve the opportunity and access goal, oTIS has identified that “Indego should increase personal mobility in Philadelphia and provide people with better access to destinations throughout the City. Indego should offer high quality and reliable service and integrate as an extension of Philadelphia’s public transit network, while ensuring the program is cost competitive for all users.” Similarly, to achieve the equity goal, oTIS has identified that
“Indego should provide a service that is inclusive, accessible, and affordable to all users.
40 Indego should improve access for low-income communities, encourage ridership among all age groups, and reduce non-financial barriers to entry by minority and low-income communities” (Indego Overview). Additionally, oTIS hopes to achieve an increase of
100-percent in total bike share trips and 120-percent of bike share trips taken by low- income riders (oTIS, 2018). The aforementioned goals and policies have set an organizational culture for the City of Philadelphia and oTIS to provide a truly equitable system that is inclusive, accessible, reliable, cost competitive, and affordable to low- income users.
In addition to the identified mission, vision, goals, and objectives, the 2018
Indego Business Plan Update identifies that community engagement is a critical component to the future expansion that is planned for 2019, 2020, and 2025. By engaging the community and allowing residents to comment on future bike share expansion plans, it has been found that residents have embraced Indego stations as investments in their neighborhoods and value the service for both transportation and recreation. Through extensive forms of community engagement, approximately 40-percent of Indego stations are now located within low- to moderate-income neighborhoods (oTIS, 2018). It is a critical component to the success of the Indego bike share program that all members of the community share a sense of ownership and are pleased to have stations located within their neighborhoods.
Community engagement also includes education and other outreach efforts, which are led by the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP), BCGP ‘Street Team’,
Ambassadors program. The composition of the BCGP ‘Street Team’ and Ambassadors include community members and other bike share representatives that hold standing in
41 community agencies and other non-profit organizations. The role of the ‘Street Team’, as young community members is to foster the public image of Indego at community events and provide one-on-one engagement with community members. The Ambassadors program is tasked to strengthen support for bike share and strengthen their existing relationships within their respective communities by hosting bicycle street skills classes, community rides, and attending Indego-related events. These events include: festivals and fairs, block parties, community days, setting up pop-up information tables at city nodes, community bike rides, and even hosting a month-long adult education course – ‘Digital
Thrills and Bicycle Thrills” to educate participants on digital literacy and the Indego bike share system. Participants in the month-long course became eligible for a free six-month bike share pass upon completion (McNeil et al., 2017). By emphasizing the culture of public engagement throughout oTIS, BCGP, community organizations, and the City of
Philadelphia, Indego has been successful in educating and encouraging residents to use the city’s bike share system.
EQUITY-BASED OPERATIONS STRATEGIES
A major component of Indego’s equity-based operations strategies stem from the pricing structure and payment options that are offered to all riders. In fact, Indego was the first major North American bike share system to offer a cash payment option, which has removed a significant financial barrier for unbanked low-income residents. Additionally,
Indego has identified that financial circumstances for each user are unique. In order to accommodate for these variable situations, Indego has created multiple options that include: a $15 monthly bike share pass with no annual commitment; a $10 annual pass
42 that charges $4 an hour; and a $4 every 30 minutes walk-up option (McNeil et al., 2017).
The variety of payment options also allows intrigued individuals to try out bike sharing without a major commitment. In April 2016, Indego introduced Indego30 Access, which is a $5 per month pass option (67-percent reduction) for Pennsylvania (PA) Access card holders. The PA Access card is issued to low-income residents by the State of
Pennsylvania for cash assistance programs, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP), and medical benefits. Within four months of introducing the Indego30 Access pricing structure, 700 members registered with approximately 20-percent paying with cash (McNeil et al., 2017).
43 NEW YORK CITY – CITI BIKE
Figure 13. Citi Bike Ribbon Cutting Ceremony (Source: NYDOT Flickr, 2013)
OVERVIEW
In May 2013, New York City launched the Citi Bike bike share system, which has since become the largest bike share system in the nation. Owned by the New
York City Department of Transportation (NYDOT) and operated by Motivate
International LLC, the system initially launched with 6,000 bikes and 332 stations
(McNeil et al., 2017). By February 2019, the bike share network had expanded to 760 active stations, 12,074 bikes, and 34,821 rides per day (NYDOT, 2019). Planning for the
Citi Bike system began in 2009 with the Bike-Share Opportunities in New York City feasibility study, which outlined potential implementation phasing, station design and placement strategies, safety considerations, and theft risk (2009). In 2013, NYDOT
44 completed the NYC Bike Share: Designed by New Yorkers (Bike Share: Designed by NY) study, which details and documents the participatory planning process (shown in Figure
14) and station siting criteria used to develop the initial service area. In the document, former NYDOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan states that the Citi Bike system is a product of the most extensive public planning process for any transportation project in
New York City, which has been “literally designed by New Yorkers for New Yorkers and tailored to meet New York’s specific needs, block by block” (NYDOT, 2013).
Figure 14. Citi Bike Planning Process 2011-2013 (Source: NYDOT, NYC Bike Share: Designed by New Yorkers, 2017)
45 Due to extensive outreach efforts prior to system launch (as outlined in Figure
14), the Citi Bike program was successful in achieving over 6 million trips in the first seven months of operation, 10 million trips in 2014, and 14 million trips in 2015
(Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, 2017). However, it was realized that ridership rates differed greatly by neighborhood, of which the low-income minority community of Bedford Stuyvesant (Bed-Stuy) fell well below the citywide average. Since then, the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, Motivate, NYDOT, and New
York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) formed the Bed-Stuy
Restoration Partnership (Restoration Partnership) to address this issue and utilized funding provided by BBSP to enhance equity programs. Bringing Equitable Bike Share to Bed-Stuy (2017), a report that documents the BBSP-funded equity programs, outlines the strategies that were used to leverage bike share’s potential to improve health and mobility opportunities for the low-income and minority residents of Bed-Stuy. The results included: a year-to-year increase of 170,000 more trips in 2016, overall ridership growth in Bed-Stuy above the citywide average, a 56-percent increase in Citi Bike membership from March 2015 to December 2016, and strong attendance to Bed-Stuy
Restoration Partnership engagement efforts (Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration
Corporation, 2017).
On November 29, 2018, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the City of New
York had reached an agreement with Lyft, the parent company of Motivate International
LLC, that the company will invest $100 million to improve and expand Citi Bike. The agreement states that Lyft will double Citi Bike’s current service area, triple the number of bikes to nearly 40,000, and continue to expand transportation equity efforts over the
46 next five years. The dramatic expansion of Citi Bike will make New York’s bike sharing networks one of the largest in the world. Highlights of the agreement include:
• Citi Bike will triple in size to nearly 40,000 bicycles and expand by 35 square
miles over the next five years;
• The geographic boundaries of the expansion will include extensive community
and elected official outreach;
• Lyft will immediately invest to restore the existing system to its required fleet
level of 12,000 bikes within 90 days of the acquisition of Motivate International
LLC;
• The expanded Citi Bike fleet will include both regular and pedal-assist bicycles;
• Lyft will add 12 new valet stations and increase bike and dock availability in high
demand locations to improve system performance;
• The Reduced Fare Bike Share program, administered by Healthfirst, will be
expanded;
• The improvement and expansion of Citi Bike will be privately funded with no
government subsidy;
• Lyft’s new micro-mobility division in New York City will support over 1,000
full-time living wage jobs;
• The City of New York retains the right to pilot and implement dockless bike share
services outside of the expanded service area, including three ongoing pilots;
• In addition to the $100 million committed to improvements and expansions, Lyft
will also pay for the associated operating expenses; and
47 • Lyft will retain the exclusive right to operate bike share within the Citi Bike
service area (de Blasio, 2018).
EQUITY BASED POLICIES
As the City of New York’s Citi Bike System will be undergoing a significant expansion over the next five years, Mayor de Blasio has set a citywide precedence to continue to expand Citi Bike’s transportation equity efforts (de Blasio, 2018). A major component to Citi Bike’s equity effort is the extensive participatory planning and outreach processes for station siting and future system expansion. As previously mentioned, the NYC Bike Share: Designed by New Yorkers (2013) study outlines how
NYDOT was able to effectively reach the public and the processes that were necessary to select bike share station locations. It is noted that the enthusiasm for Citi Bike is a product of the extensive outreach that was conducted, which included: 159 public bike share meetings, over 10,000 station suggestions on NYDOT’s interactive station planning map, 2,881 technically viable station options from community input boards, and the inclusion of over 250 organizations and community groups. In order to engage minority populations, NYDOT provided multilingual online and print materials and hosted
Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese outreach events in coordination with local service organizations. Publicity for these events were gained through online and print-media outreach, and advertisements posted in local businesses and housing developments.
During the planning period, an independent poll conducted by the Quinnipiac
University’s Polling Institute indicated that 74-percent of New Yorkers supported bike share, which is believed to be attributed to the exhaustive participatory planning process
48 and intensifying development of the city’s bicycling infrastructure (NYDOT, 2013).
Public outreach, education, and transparency continue to be key policies for NYDOT and the Citi Bike program in order to provide a sense of ownership amongst community members. In fact, NYDOT publishes a monthly report that includes ridership and membership enrollment data, operations data (i.e. inspections, vandalism, and station rebalancing), and system revenue (NYDOT, 2019).
In addition to providing system-wide outreach, it is critical to consider the equity- based strategies that were utilized by the Restoration Partnership to improve Citi Bike usage and membership enrollment in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed-Stuy. The
Restoration Partnership, led by the Bed-Stuy Restoration Corporation, acknowledged that many residents perceived bike lanes, cyclists, and bike share as a sign of gentrification.
Cognizant of such, there was a negative connotation associated with the Citi Bike system that was shared amongst Bed-Stuy residents, of whom believed that the system was “not intended for people of color” and unsafe to use on Brooklyn streets. In order to overcome this perception, increasing education and outreach events were core strategies to the effort (Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, 2017).
The Bed-Stuy Restoration Corporation, an organization with 50 years of established trust within the community, was tasked to involve other community champions to improve the image of Citi Bike and educate residents on how bike share may support the physical and financial health of residents. Tracey Capers, Executive Vice
President for Programs of the Bed-Stuy Restoration Corporation, stated, “We wanted to change neighborhood conversation from focusing on gentrification to exploring how bike share can help residents achieve their personal goals. Changing the conversation meant
49 real discussions with residents on their perceptions and aspirations and it also required
Partnership members to do business differently -including looking at our own
organizational practices, how we engage the community and how we collaborate with
one another.” Through the partnerships formed with local residents, community groups,
and stakeholders, the Bed-Stuy Partnership was able to co-host and lead 47 community
rides that were attended by over 330 Bed-Stuy residents. Co-hosting community rides
enabled events to be multi-faceted (i.e. free shots, free back to school supplies, breast
feeding awareness, etc.), which resulted in increased awareness and media coverage
(Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, 2017). The key objectives outlined in the
Bringing Equitable Bike Share to Bed-Stuy (2017) report include: fostering community
ownership, identifying community champions for bike share, increasing the visibility of
people of color using Citi Bikes (i.e. healthy activity ad campaign featuring students of
color - #FreshMovesBKNY), expanding the Citi Bike Corporate Membership program
(i.e. purchasing packages of discounted memberships for employees), and leveraging
partners to develop new programs (i.e. New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)
Champions, Citi Bike for Youth, and Prescribe-a-Bike programs).

EQUITY-BASED OPERATIONS STRATEGIES
Key components to Citi Bikes equity-based operations strategies include the provision of a robust and geographically expansive bike share system and discounted membership options. Due to the station-based nature of the Citi Bike system, it has been identified that bike share is successful when the coverage area is robust, which allows the user to find a station that is located nearby their origin and destination (NYDOT, 2013).
For example, during the initial launch of the Citi Bike system only ten bike share stations were installed along the western, more affluent, edge of Bed-Stuy. In 2015 a Bed-Stuy
Resident Survey, conducted by the Bed-Stuy Partnership, indicated that inadequate system coverage (i.e. station siting only located along the western edge of the community) was a key barrier for Bed-Stuy residents as the docking stations were not located nearby most low-income residents. In fact, the survey indicated that 51-percent of
Bed-Stuy residents would be more inclined to purchase an annual Citi Bike membership if docking stations were located nearby their destination. In August 2015, 26 new bike share stations were added to the Bed-Stuy neighborhood, which vastly expanded system coverage as shown in Figure 16 (Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, 2017).
This system expansion became a significant factor to the previously mentioned ridership growth (170,000 more trips) that was experienced in 2016. Additionally, NYDOT has also partnered with NYCHA, community boards, and NYCHA Resident Advisors to identify locations for bike share stations within and around NYCHA housing campuses.
When the system launched in 2013, NYDOT ensured that bike share stations were
51 located within one block of all 29 NYCHA properties within the coverage area (NYDOT,
2013).
Figure 16. Citi Bike Stations in Bedford Stuyvesant in 2013 and 2015 (Source: Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, 2017)
In addition to addressing equity through station siting, NYDOT has also sought to improve the affordability of the Citi Bike system for low-income users. To address the issue of financial access, NYDOT created two subsidized membership programs – one for NYCHA residents and another for members of Community Development Credit
Unions. The two subsidy programs offer annual memberships for $60 (40-percent reduction in price) (NYDOT, 2013). Additionally, members of the subsidy programs will be able to use Citi Bike’s pedal-assist bicycles for $0.50 per ride (75-percent reduction in price) compared to the $2 fee charged to other annual members. Compared to the standard bicycle, Citi Bike data shows that pedal-assist bikes are typically utilized for further distances as 18-percent of trips are greater than three miles (10.7-percent for standard bikes) (Kuntzman, 2019). However, it should be noted that NYDOT has not
52 conducted any research to identify whether low-income Citi Bike users travel further distances for commuting purposes.
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA – FORD GOBIKE
Figure 17. Riders Using FordGo Bike Share (Source: Ford GoBike)
OVERVIEW
In August 2013 the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), in partnership with the five cities in the Bay Area, launched the Bay Area Bike Share
(BABS) program with approximately 700 bikes across 70 stations. Funded by an
Innovative Grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the bike share service was deployed in San Francisco (35 stations), Palo Alto (5 stations),
Redwood City (7 stations), Mountain View (7 stations), and San Jose (16 stations) (MTC,
53 2015). During the pilot period (August 2013 to December 2016), 977,664 total trips were completed in the City of San Francisco alone (SFMTA, 2016). In 2017, the regional bike share system expanded to 320 stations and 4,500 bikes, and re-branded as the Ford
GoBike after receiving sponsorship from the Ford Motor Company (SFMTA, 2017).
Since re-branding as the Ford GoBike system, the system has expanded to 7,000 bikes across five cities – San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and San Jose (Ford
GoBike). In 2018, Ford GoBike users completed over 1.8 million trips with approximately 16,000 active bike share members (MTC, Bike Share in 2018, 2018). The bikeshare system is currently being administered by MTC and operated by Motivate
International LLC (Goodwin, 2016).
EQUITY-BASED POLICIES
On October 18, 2016, MTC and Motivate International LLC. made a commitment to ensure that the Ford GoBike system is equitable to all Bay Area residents as a part of the tenfold bike share expansion that stemmed from the Ford Motors sponsorship. The primary components to the equity commitment include: an introductory subsidy program for low-income residents, cash payment options, funding to conduct outreach and education for low-income and minority residents, and an objective to place 20-percent of all stations within MTC-designated “Communities of Concern” (Simons and Kahn,
2016).
As a part of the equity commitment, MTC and Motivate also announced that
$260,000 would be provided in new funding for community-based organizations for conduct outreach and education for low-income and minority residents (Simons and
54 Kahn, 2016). The provision of this funding resulted in the genesis of the Bay Area Bike
Share Equity Group (BABSEG), of TransForm California, that formed partnerships with the Bay Area’s three largest bicycle coalitions (San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, Bike
East Bay, and the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition), community organizations, and ten local community ambassadors (Motivate, 2018). Between September 2017 to March
2018, BABSEG conducted outreach to educate low-income and minority communities of the Bike Share for All program and other bicycling resources. BABSEG outreach events reached approximately 12,300 participants, which directly resulted in 692 new Bike
Share for All memberships (37-percent of all program accounts). Of these new members,
97-percent were minority residents, of which 37-percent were Asian, 35-percent were
African American, 21-percent were Hispanic, and 2-percent were Native America
(TransForm, 2018). Prominent outreach events included local organizations with positive reputations within their respective communities, such as - Oakland-based Scraper Bike
Team and Cycles of Change, Chinese Newcomers Service Center in San Francisco and
SF Yellow Bike Project. These events enabled the development of Ford GoBike’s reputation through regular tabling, pop-up events, bike training courses, food distribution drives, bike repair classes, and community rides (Motivate, 2018).
It should be noted that the regionally-operated Ford GoBike system has a unique organizational structure, which utilizes MTC for administrative purposes and allows the local agencies to control the permitting process for station siting. As noted in the Local and Regional Bike Sharing Organizational Models report conducted by the San Francisco
County Transportation Authority (SFCTA), a regional bike sharing system became the preferred alternative due to MTC’s capability to perform oversight of the bike share
55 contractor while acknowledging that the local agencies were best suited to understand the unique needs of their respective service area. Under this organizational model, each local jurisdiction has been able to set their goals, objectives, values, and equity-based policies.
For example, SFCTA has identified that dense station siting is a critical component to a successful bike share system in terms of high ridership. Cognizant of such, low-income neighborhoods with low density may not be perceived as strategic location for bike share station siting. However, to address this issue, SFCTA demonstrated that a potential solution may include factoring these costs into the system’s business plan and empowering local agencies to pursue specified public grants to fund capital and operating costs (SFCTA, 2014).
EQUITY-BASED OPERATIONS STRATEGIES
The primary equity-based operations strategy derives from the Ford GoBikes provision of a subsidy membership program that offers various payment options. The introductory subsidy program, also known as Bike Share for All, offers a one-time $5 annual membership (97-percent price reduction) to all Bay Area residents that qualify for
CalFresh, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Lifeline Passes, or
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) utility discounts. The eligibility standards for each of these programs are detailed in Figures 18, 19, and 20 below. The membership includes the first 60 minutes of each trip and charges an additional $3 fee for every 15 minutes. In the second and subsequent years of the Bike Share for All program, applicants are eligible for a $5 per month (67-percent price reduction) bike share membership.
Applicants are able to enroll online or at one of three enrollment centers for cash
56 payments. The enrollment centers include locations at the Bay Area Metro Center in San
Francisco, Oakland Public Library, and Berkeley Public Library (Ford GoBike). By June
2018, 20-percent (3,300 members) of all Ford GoBike members were participants of the
Bike Share for All program (TransForm CA, 2018), which is a significantly larger membership-share than both Indego in Philadelphia (9-percent) and Bluebikes in Boston
(3-percent) (MTC, FordGo Bike is a Model, 2018). It should also be noted that the regional nature of Ford GoBike enables riders to use their Clipper card, which is a reloadable smart card used for transit fare payment throughout the San Francisco Bay
Area (Ford GoBike).

CHAPTER 7
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Moving into the future for the Metro Bike Share system, it is critical for LA
Metro to fully embrace the precedence set by the Metro Equity Platform Framework to create a more equitable bike share system for all resident of Los Angeles County. LA
Metro has already identified the planned expansion service areas for Phases IV and V, as outlined in Table 6 below, and should utilize the Findings and Recommendations Chapter of this study to further integrate the concept of equity throughout the bike share program.
Using the equity recommendations offered by MCM/PMJ and LACBC and the academic findings and equity-based strategies compiled in the literature review case studies sections, the Metro Equity Study identified six themes of bike share equity, which include: equity-oriented organizational structure and policies, financial access, spatial access, technological access, education and outreach, and local partnerships. This chapter offers various policy and system operating strategies that stem from these themes and should be considered by LA Metro.

EQUITY-BASED POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Develop a new vision and goals for the Metro Bike Share program that is
includes and addresses of the concept of equity. Explore publicizing the shift toward
equity by branding the Metro Bike Share equity initiative. By establishing a new
vision and goals for the Metro Bike Share system, LA Metro will be able to establish
equity as a top priority for the organizations bike share program. Currently, as stated in
the 2018 Business Plan, the vision of the Metro Bike Share system is to “provide new and existing transit users with an accessible, reliable and efficient mobility option as an integrated part of Los Angeles County’s world class transportation system.” (LA Metro,
2018). With the goals of the program focusing on accessibility, reliability, efficiency, and integrated, it may be inferred that equity considerations are a component to the bike share system. However, LA Metro should consider advancing their equity efforts by including the concept within their vision, highlighting it as a primary goal for the bike share
64
program, and branding the Metro Bike Share equity initiative. In doing so, LA Metro may set an internal precedence for the employees of the organization and notify external patrons, community-based organizations, and stakeholders that creating an equitable system is a priority for the program. Examples of what the Metro Bike Share branding and vision could look like are provided in Figure 21 below.
Figure 21. Metro Bike Share Branding and Vision Examples
Collect user socioeconomic data and create measurable goals to improve the equitability of the Metro Bike Share system for low-income and minority communities. In order for LA Metro to convey that there is a need to improve the equitability of the LA Metro Bike Share system to their board members, the agency should consider collecting the socioeconomic data of bike share users and establishing measurable goals to improve these metrics (i.e. percent of low-income and minority riders). As utilized in Chicago’s D4E case study, the City of Chicago collected the socioeconomic data of Divvy users to measure the success of the D4E program and overarching system. After a 2016 bike share expansion, the City of Chicago used the socioeconomic data that was collected to demonstrate a six-percent increase from 46- percent to 53-percent for services to non-white populations, eight-percent increase from
65
56-percent to 64-percent for services provided to Chicago residents within 0.5-miles of a public transit station, and services provided to 11 of 15 communities with a median household income below $30,000 a year. The use of these metrics and measurable goals would allow LA Metro to emphasize the importance of certain equity policies and demonstrate a need to further develop the Metro Bike Share system within marginalized communities.
Form ‘equitable’ partnerships with community groups that exist within potential service areas and conduct outreach early in the planning process. Identify
‘bike share ambassadors’ and utilize partnerships to conduct outreach events in low-income and minority communities on a consistent basis to forge meaningful relationships with community members. As noted by MCM/PMJ staff, the
Ambassadors Project highlighted a need for LA Metro to create partnerships with community-based organizations in order to forge meaningful relationships with community members. Additionally, it was noted by Rio Contreras, MCM/PMJ outreach lead on the Ambassadors Project, that these partnerships should be ‘equitable’ (Contreras et al., 2017). Equitable relationships should seek to empower community-based organizations, stakeholders, and residents by providing these individuals with a ‘voice’ and, as it pertains to MCM/PMJ in the Ambassadors Project, the ability to operate autonomously when acting within their role of the partnership. LA Metro should consider forming a Bike Share Equity Working Group with representatives from key stakeholders from LACBC, MCM/PMJ, community groups, local agencies, and other regional partners. LA Metro may also consider empowering their partners, and establishing more
66
‘equitable’ partnerships, by allowing local agencies and community groups to lead the outreach component of station siting.
Additionally, these partnerships and outreach events were critical components to the equity initiatives that were practiced by each of the case study cities. For instance, each city or regional acknowledged that engaging low-income and minority residents from the beginning of the planning process is a critical component to forging a sense of ownership and pride over bike share investments throughout the community. Each of these cities held partnerships with a plethora of community-based organizations, bicycle coalitions, and local stakeholders; and with the exception of the Chicago Divvy system, had identified a set of local ambassadors to advocate for and educate the public about bike share within their respective communities. Figure 22 depicts the SB 535
Disadvantage Communities located within future Metro Bike Share expansion areas, which should be prioritized for establishing partnerships and early outreach during the planning process. It is important that community engagement is conducted on a consistent basis with culturally relevant and linguistically appropriate outreach materials in low-income and minority communities.
67
Figure 22. Map Depicting SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities Within Planned Service Areas by 2020 (Source: City of Los Angeles, Open Data Portal; California Legislative Information, 2012)
Empower participating local agencies and the respective public to ensure a sense of ownership and pride over bike share services within their respective communities. In addition to forging meaningful relationships with non-government organizations (NGO), it is equally important to empower the participating local agencies in the Metro Bike Share system. As depicted in the San Francisco Bay Area regional bike share model, the Municipal Planning Organization (MPO) MTC is able to administer the program but defers most of the decision-making capabilities to the participating local agencies. Under these conditions, the local agency is considered the lead in station siting and setting their own goals, objectives, values, and policies. It has been acknowledged by
68
MTC that the local agencies were best suited to understand the unique needs of their respective communities. Although it is not necessarily recommended that LA Metro adopt the same organizational model as MTC, the agency should consider empowering and encouraging the participating local agencies to set their own mission, vision, and goals for bike share within their service areas, and lead the station siting and associated community outreach processes.
Address the technological restraints of individuals without internet access by publishing multilingual outreach material in hard-copy form that contains Metro
Bike Share information. In 2017, 79.9-percent of Los Angeles County households had access to the internet via a smartphone, tablet, or computer (U.S. Census Bureau).
Cognizant of such, it is important that LA Metro continues to publish multilingual print outreach material and expands the use of multilingual advertising for the Metro Bike
Share system. As noted in the Literature Review Chapter, low-income and minority communities have experienced barriers nationally with smart phone availability and education on how to use bike share. Cognizant of such, it is critical to continue publishing and advertising with multilingual outreach materials that will enhance bike share education efforts and usage of the system, respectively.
Prioritize investing in bicycle infrastructure within low-income and minority communities and modifying the Bike Share Suitability Index. The Business Plan
(2018) has outlined that the Metro Bike Share system will continue to utilize the
Suitability Index as a determinant for the bike share-readiness of potential expansion areas. As previously stated in the LA Metro Bike Share Overview Chapter, the index weighs the presence of bicycle infrastructure, which may result in the disproportionate
69
underrepresentation of disadvantaged communities as a suitable environment for station siting. Cognizant of such, LA Metro should consider prioritizing bicycle infrastructure investments within low-income and minority communities and supporting local agencies that wish to apply for active transportation planning and/or infrastructure grants. Grant programs such as Caltrans’ Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant and Active
Transportation Program support active transportation planning and infrastructure development, respectively (Caltrans, 2018; Caltrans Active Transportation Program).
Additionally, the agency should also consider modifying the Suitability Index by including an equity-focused metric as one of the determining factors. Although equity considerations are included during the initial assessment of potential service areas, equity should also be included throughout the prioritization process.
Utilize the Metro Bike Share program as a platform to conduct and pilot innovative forms of community engagement. As noted in the Case Study Chapter, the
City of Philadelphia utilizes the Indego Bike Share system as a platform to conduct and pilot innovative forms of outreach, which has enhanced the equitability of their system.
The ability to pilot new forms of community engagement may allow LA Metro to accommodate the unique characteristics and needs of Los Angeles’ low-income communities. Examples of such may include forming a team of Metro Bike Share ambassadors, hosting community rides, and form bike share programs in partnership with other public departments across Los Angeles County.
70
EQUITY-BASED OPERATIONS STRATEGIES
Using the LIFE program to develop a subsidized fare structure for low- income residents. Currently, the Metro Bike Share system does not offer a subsidized pricing structure designed for low-income residents, which is an equity feature that has been offered by each of the case study cities. However, reduced fares are offered to senior citizens (ages 62 and above), persons with disabilities, college and vocational students, and K-12 students (must be older than 16 year of age to ride) in two options - 30 day pass for $5 (70.6-percent fare reduction) and an annual pass for $50 (66-percent fare reduction). It is recommended that LA Metro utilizes the existing LIFE program to offer the same reduced fares to eligible low-income residents. The eligibility requirements for the LIFE program are portrayed in Figure 23.
Figure 23. LA Metro LIFE Program Eligibility - Income Limits (Source: LA Metro LIFE)
As LA Metro continues to expand the number of pedal-assist bikes into the Metro
Bike Share fleet, the agency should consider accommodating subsidized fares for LIFE program members if additional usage fees are added. During the pilot period, the fare for pedal-assist bikes and a standard bike were the same (Metro Bike Share). However, if LA
71
Metro considers adding additional fees to use the pedal-assist bicycles in the future, LIFE program members should be exempt or provided a subsidized rate.
Offer a cash payment option at Metro Bike Share kiosks and/or form partnerships with public service organizations to administer in-person bike share registration that accept cash-payment options. Regardless of whether LA Metro decides to extend the LIFE program to bike share users, the agency should explore the feasibility offering a cash payment option. In the Case Study Chapter, it was found that each of the case study cities offered a cash payment option to remove the financial barrier that was experienced by individuals without a bank account or a credit card. By offering a cash payment option at kiosks, the Metro Bike Share system would become more accessible to low-income residents. However, it should be noted that the availability of a walk-up cash option may present liability issues if bicycles are damaged or stolen.
Cognizant of such, an alternative option is to partner with public service organizations such as recreational centers, public libraries, public housing centers, and other social service organizations to administer in-person bike share registration. Figure 24 depicts all of the public service organizations that are located within the existing and planned service areas. A full list of the community organizations and recreation programs included in Figure 24 is provided in Appendix A. The Chicago and San Francisco Bay
Area bike share programs offer a similar service where cash payments are accepted, and registration is administered by a partner agency. The City of Philadelphia also offers a cash payment option, which is accepted by 7-Eleven, CVS, Family Dollar, or Ace Cash
Express. The Indego system is able to accommodate this by issuing a barcode to the
72
registered user, which is then scanned by the local retailer upon payment, and a 30-day pass is sent to the user via mail (Indego, Cash Payment).

Ensure that station kiosks and smart bikes instructions are multilingual and imagery on the kiosks reflect the communities where they are located. Much like the provision of multilingual outreach material, the provision of multilingual kiosks and smart bike instructions are critical components to addressing the language barrier experienced by non-English speaking minority residents. Additionally, LA Metro should consider a promotional campaign that uses kiosk advertising to showcase local residents using bike share within their communities. As observed in the New York case study, the
73
Citi Bike system was able to increase the visibility of local minority residents using bike share through a healthy activity ad campaign featuring students of color. Specifically, the campaign was used in Bed-Stuy to improve the image of Citi Bike and counter the stigma of being associated with gentrification.

CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
As iterated through the Metro Equity Platform Framework initiative, the concept
of equity, particularly through the provision of equal opportunity and access for all Los
Angeles County residents, is a priority for LA Metro. However, as depicted in the
Literature Review Chapter, marginalized communities are significantly underrepresented
in access and use of bike share systems nationwide. Specifically, minorities that use bike
share face the fear of being profiled by police and being stranded with a broken bicycle;
and both low-income and minority users of bike share face the barriers of mobile phone availability, credit card requirements, and equipment liability. It was also found that only
one in five bike share systems in America have written policies pertaining to equity, of
which most address station siting (included in 68-percent of systems with equity
policies), fee structure (72-percent), marketing (57-percent); and system operations, data
collection, and analysis (42-percent). Lastly, the Literature Review Chapter has shown
that marginalized communities face unique barriers to using bike share, which include:
user fees, liability for bike share equipment, lack of education and knowledge of bike
share, and station siting and access (only 12-percent of bike share systems are located
within communities of ‘high economic hardship’). Members of low-income and minority communities have shown that they are more likely to use bike share if certain services and programs were offered such as discounted membership or use options, access to free or low-cost helmets, cash payment options, wayfinding sign for safe bicycle routes, and community rides were organized for ‘people of color’ and low-income patrons.
75
Throughout the Case Study Chapter, the Metro Equity Study sought to identify
how the Divvy, Indego, Citi Bike, and Ford GoBike bike share systems have addressed
the issues identified in the Literature Review Chapter. Each of these bike share systems
utilized unique strategies to address the equity issues facing their respective systems.
These equity strategies were compiled in Table 5 and were separated into key policies
and operation strategies. The Case Study Chapter resulted in the composition of key
policies that included equity initiatives being incorporated throughout each organization, promotion of opportunity and access (physical, financial, and technological access) for marginalized communities, robust outreach and community engagement; and
partnerships with community groups, key stakeholders, and local bike share ambassadors.
Key equity-based operation strategies that were identified included: the provision of low-
income subsidy programs, cash payment options, in-person registration, geographically expansive station siting within marginalized communities, and fare integration with regional transit cards. The findings from the Literature Review and Case Study Chapters were then used to develop a set of recommendations to improve the equitability of the
Metro Bike Share system.
The purpose of the Metro Equity Study is to support LA Metro’s Metro Equity
Platform Framework initiative and support the department in providing a more equitable bike share system for Los Angeles County residents. The Recommendations Chapter supports this ultimate goal by offering a set of bike share policy- and operations-based recommendations that will enhance the equitability of the Metro Bike Share System.
These recommendations are based upon six themes that were identified through the Case
Study and Literature Review sections, which include: organizational structure and
76
policies, financial access, spatial access, technological access, education and outreach, and local partnerships. The following list of recommendations were created to support
LA Metro in developing a truly equitable bike share system for Los Angeles County’s low-income and minority communities:
• Equity-Based Policy Recommendations
o Develop a new vision and goals for the Metro Bike Share program that is includes and addresses of the concept of equity.
o Explore publicizing the shift toward equity by branding the Metro Bike Share equity initiative.
o Form equitable partnerships with community groups that exist within potential service areas and conduct outreach early in the planning process.
o Identify ‘bike share ambassadors’ and utilize partnerships to conduct outreach events in low-income and minority communities on a consistent
basis to forge meaningful relationships with community members.
o Empower participating local agencies and the respective public to ensure a sense of ownership and pride over bike share services within their
respective communities.
o Address the technological restraints of individuals without internet access by publishing multilingual outreach material in hard-copy form that
contains Metro Bike Share information.
o Prioritize investing in bicycle infrastructure within low-income and minority communities and modifying the Bike Share Suitability Index.
77
o Utilize the Metro Bike Share program as a platform to conduct and pilot innovative forms of community engagement.
• Equity-Based Operations Strategies
o Using the LIFE program to develop a subsidized fare structure for low- income residents.
o Offer a cash payment option at Metro Bike Share kiosks and/or form partnerships with public service organizations to administer in-person bike
share registration that accept cash-payment options.
o Ensure that station kiosks and smart bikes instructions are multilingual and imagery on the kiosks reflect the communities where they are located.
By improving bike share access for Los Angeles County’s low-income and minority communities, LA Metro may also support the agency’s existing bike share vision and goals, which seek to provide “an accessible, reliable and efficient mobility option as an integrated part of Los Angeles County’s world class transportation system”
(LA Metro, 2018). As the Metro Bike Share system continues to expand through Phase
IV, Phase V, and further into the future, it is critical that the unique needs and barriers experienced by low-income and minority residents are considered from the onset of the planning process to daily operations. The Metro Bike Share system is an important component to Los Angeles’ multimodal transportation network as it provides a healthy and environmentally-friendly alternative to automobile travel. Moving into the future, it is critical that LA Metro extends the same level of opportunity for low-income and minority communities to access the highly beneficial Metro Bike Share system.
78
AUTHOR’S NOTE
Although the Metro Equity Study is based upon a qualitative methodology, it
should be noted that research of bike share equity programs is currently inhibited by the
deficiency of quantitative bike share data. Moving into the future, it should be noted that
the findings from qualitative research may be supported by the availability of quantitative
data sets. Cognizant of such, additional research should be conducted on the success of
certain equity policies, programs, and operation strategies as quantitative data sets
become available. Additionally, the scope of the Metro Equity Study was inhibited by the deficiency of bike share liability information that was not made publicly available by the case study agencies. As noted in the Literature Review Chapter, 52-percent of minority
and low-income survey respondents noted that ‘liability for bike share equipment’ is a significant barrier and concern to utilizing their respective bike share systems. Future research should be conducted regarding bike share system liability and strategies that may be utilized to keep patrons accountable without disproportionally impacting low- income and minority communities.
