    Bike Share Peer City Service Area and Operating Characteristics

    Uploaded by

    Justin Carder
    This document summarizes bike share system data from several peer cities and provides recommendations for an equitable 50 station/500 bike system in a new city. It shows that larger systems in cities like Washington D.C. and Chicago have the highest ridership and revenue. Recommendations for making bike share more equitable include placing more stations in low-income areas, offering reduced memberships for low-income residents, and allowing alternative payment methods beyond credit cards. The document also provides a breakdown of asset ownership and estimated costs for removing 54 stations from an existing system.

    in low-income neighborhoods. Portland intends to place
    40%, and Chicago has 33% of stations in low-income
    neighborhoods.

    Reduced Cost
    Memberships

    Cities provide dramatically reduced memberships for lowincome residents. Boston and Chicago charge $5 for an
    annual membership.

    Washington DC, Philadelphia and Boston allow the


    unbanked to purchase memberships without a credit card.
    Philadelphias model system allows cash payments at 7Elevens.

    Pricing

    Numerous cities are testing pricing methods, such a monthly


    payments instead of annual to attract to lower income
    residents.

    Jobs Training

    to provide internships and full time jobs for low-income
    youth.
