Bikesharing

Bikesharing is a form of micromobility where riders are able to rent bikes on a short-term basis for point-to-point trips using a fleet of public or private bikes distributed throughout a community. This mode has seen immense growth in recent years, and has evolved to play an important role in bridging some of the gaps in existing transportation networks. Potential bikesharing benefits include: increased mobility, lower transportation costs, reduced fuel use, and improved health. This Learning Module reviews the history, evolution, and current status of the bikeshare industry.
