Prof. Dr. Ela Babalık Sutcliffe June, 2014, 230 pages Considering the problems of traffic congestion, energy dependency and air pollution depending on excessive use of private car, different transport alternatives to ensure sustainable urban transportation have come into question. Particularly in some European countries, bicycle use, which does not create any pollution and uses resources and road space at a minimum, has appeared as a sustainable alternative for urban transportation and besides, recently bike-sharing systems have contributed to this process positively. Bike-sharing systems, which introduce a number of bike stations in urban areas to encourage citizens to take a bike from one station and then leave it at any other one, further promotes the usage of bikes for urban transport purposes. The system has numerous examples today in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. It has recently been launched in some Turkish cities too, while many other cities are planning to introduce this system. iv This research analyzes the planning and operating approaches in bike-sharing implementations. The worldwide experiences in this new approach are reviewed, and best practices in the world will be studied with a view to reveal some criteria for the successful planning and operation of these systems in Turkey. The first three bike-sharing systems, those in Kayseri, Konya and Istanbul will be assessed. The underlying objectives are to provide a better understanding of the current experience in bike-sharing systems in Turkey, to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the systems implemented so far, and to provide recommendations for the planning, implementation and operation of future systems. Keywords: Bike-sharing, cycling, sustainable transport, planning. v ÖZ SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR ULAŞIM İÇİN PAYLAŞIMLI BİSİKLET SİSTEMLERİNİN PLANLAMA VE İŞLETMESİ: KONYA, KAYSERİ VE İSTANBUL ÖRNEKLERİ Erçetin, Cihan Yüksek Lisans, Kentsel Politika Planlaması ve Yerel Yönetimler, Tez Yöneticisi: Doç. Dr. Ela Babalık Sutcliffe Haziran, 2014, 230 pages Aşırı otomobil kullanımına bağlı olan trafik sıkışıklığı, enerji bağımlılığı ve hava kirliliği problemleri dikkate alınarak, farklı ulaşım alternatifleri sürdürülebilir kentsel ulaşımı sağlamak üzere gündeme gelmiştir. Özellikle bazı Avrupa ülkelerinde, hiçbir kirlilik yaratmayan ve kaynakları ve yol kapasitesini asgari seviyede kullanan bisiklet kullanımı kentsel ulaşım için sürdürülebilir bir alternatif olarak ortaya çıkmıştır, ve bunun yanında, son zamanlarda paylaşımlı bisiklet sistemleri bu sürece olumlu katkı yapmıştır. Kentsel alanda insanları bir istasyondan bisiklet alıp sonrasında herhangi başka bir istasyona bırakmasına cesaretlendiren, belli sayıda bisiklet istasyonunu sunan paylaşımlı bisiklet sistemleri bunun ötesinde bisikletin kentsel ulaşım aracı olarak kulanılmasını sağlar. Sistem günümüzde Avrupa’da, Asya’da, ve Kuzey ve Güney Amerika’da çok sayıda örneği bulunmaktadır. Türkiye’de de son zamanlarda birçok kent bu sistemi başlatmayı planlarken, bazı kentlerde bu sistem başlamıştır. Bu araştırma, paylaşımlı bisiklet sistemi uygulamalarındaki planlama ve işletme yaklaşımlarını analiz etmektedir. Bu yaklaşımdaki dünya genelindeki deneyimler incelenmiştir, ve dünyadaki en iyi uygulamalar, bu sistemlerin bazı başarılı planlama ve uygulama kriterlerini ortaya çıkarmak üzerine bir bakış açısıyla vi araştırılacaktır. Kayseri, Konya ve İstanbul’daki paylaşımlı bisiklet sistemlerinin ilk üç örneği değerlendirilecektir. Temel amaçlar, Türkiye’deki paylaşımlı bisiklet sistemlerinin güncel deneyimlerini daha iyi anlamayı sağlamak, şimdiye kadar uygulanan sistemlerin güçlü ve zayıf yanlarını ortaya çıkarmak, ve gelecekteki sistemlerin planlama, uygulama ve işletmesi için politika önerileri sağlamaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Paylaşımlı bisiklet sistemi, bisiklete binme, sürdürülebilir ulaşım, planlama. vii DEDICATION To My Dear Fiancée… viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not write this thesis without the people who did not hesitate to support, guide, encourage and help me.

  • Paying for Bike-Sharing Systems EXAMPLES and TRENDS from LATIN AMERICA Introduction
    Paying for bike-sharing systems EXAMPLES AND TRENDS FROM LATIN AMERICA Introduction Bike-sharing systems (BSS) have played BOX 1 a key role in discussions around how to promote cycling in cities for more than Financing and funding (CFF, 2017) a decade. This role has further increased Financing: Related to how governments (or with the emergence of private dockless private companies) that own infrastructure find the money to meet the upfront costs of building said systems since 2015. There are now infrastructure. Examples: municipal revenues, bonds, thousands of BSS in operation in cities intergovernmental transfers, private sector. across the world, particularly in Europe, Funding: Related to how taxpayers, consumers or Asia, and North America. others ultimately pay for infrastructure, including paying back the finance from whichever source Creating a BSS, however, is not simply a matter of governments (or private owners) choose. replicating a model that has worked in another city. BSSs are one element of a city’s overall transport infrastructure, Examples: Taxes, municipal revenues, user fees like roads, buses, metros, bike lanes, sidewalks, etc. Their and sponsorship. implementation must be based around a city’s context, including: (a) the applicable laws and regulations with respect to planning and operation of a BSS; (b) its integration with public transport networks, particularly The financing and funding options for a BSS will be its ability to connect transport nodes with offices and dependent on the operational structure that the city residences; and (c) the potential of cycling as a mode of chooses. In all cases, the city will be involved in this transport in the city and any relevant sustainability or structure: the degree of involvement will depend on the development objectives (Moon-Miklaucic et al., 2018).

  • Feasibility Study: Bikeshare System Implementation in Rome
    Feasibility Study: Bikeshare system implementation in Rome Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering Department of Civil, Constructional and Environmental Engineering (DICEA) Master Degree in Transport Systems Engineering Daniel Felipe López Velásquez Matricola 1794090 Relatore Luca Persia A.A. 2018-2019 ©2019 Daniel Felipe López Velásquez 2 ABSTRACT This thesis develops a feasibility study of a new bikeshare program in Rome. A literature review was done to investigate the state-of-the-art of bike-sharing as well as the trends and related impacts. A comparison between the station-based and the free-floating systems was carried out and the previous experiences in Rome were studied. A context analysis was implemented to study the security, the mobility, the potential barriers to bikeshare and possible strategies to deal with them in Rome. Initial planning of the bikeshare was defined using a combination of georeferenced spatial analysis, territorial analysis, and multi-criteria evaluation. Five different criteria were taken into account: 1) Medium-Low accessibility zones, 2) Cycle path infrastructure, 3) Population and employment density, 4) Origin and destination trips, and 5) Slope. Using this multi-criteria approach, a global suitability layer was built and the service area of the system was proposed accordingly. More detailed planning of the system was performed, to establish the location of stations and determine the system size in terms of the number of stations, bikes, and docks. Spatial analysis with Thiessen Polygons was used to assign a specific size to each bikeshare station. Accordingly, a cost- benefit analysis was implemented using the Net Present Value to study the profitability of the project under six different scenarios, i.e.
