As of Spring 2011, there were an estimated 136 bikesharing programs in approximately 165 cities around the world, each learning lessons from past and present experiences to gain a greater understanding of implementation and operational procedures. In this article, TSRC provides an overview of bikesharing activity around the world. This article also provides a brief history of bikesharing, discusses bikesharing benefits, and lessons learned. It is, however, important to note that ongoing research is still needed, particularly in the areas of social and environmental benefits, sustainable business models, supportive infrastructure, and safety. Nevertheless, TSRC’s case study on Hangzhou's bikeshare program suggests that auto ownership may not discourage bikesharing, which is a promising prospect for car-dependent cities worldwide.</p> Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:03:56 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/Worldwide_Bikesharing.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/China_s_Hangzhou_Public_Bicycle.shtml Publications <xml> </xml> <!-- [endif][if gte mso 9] --> <xml></xml> <p>Over the past 20 years, China has experienced a steady decline in bicycle use. In light of growing traffic congestion and environmental concerns, China’s central and local governments launched various initiatives to encourage public transportation. As part of this effort, the city of Hangzhou launched Hangzhou Public Bicycle in 2008. In order to understanding factors leading to bikesharing adoption and barriers to adoption, the TSRC team studied the Hangzhou system by conducting intercept surveys in China between January 2010 and March 2010. Information gathered through intercept surveys was used to test the ideas that most people in Hangzhou will: 1) have a more favorable perception of bikesharing and 2) be more willing to adopt bikesharing, if it is supported by the government. The research also explored the Chinese government's involvement during the planning, designing, and operation of this bikesharing system. Research findings may provide useful lessons to potential bikesharing programs around the world, especially in other Chinese cities.<br /> </p> Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:36:47 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/China_s_Hangzhou_Public_Bicycle.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/The_Impact_of_Carsharing_on_Public_Transit_and_Non-Motorized_Travel_An_Exploration_of_North_American_Carsharing_Survey_Data.shtml Publications The Impact of Carsharing on Public Transit and Non-Motorized Travel: An Exploration of North American Carsharing Survey Data Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:47:49 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/The_Impact_of_Carsharing_on_Public_Transit_and_Non-Motorized_Travel_An_Exploration_of_North_American_Carsharing_Survey_Data.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/Carsharing_in_Shanghai_China_Analysis_of_Behavioral_Response_to_a_Local_Survey_and_Potential_Competition.shtml Publications Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:34:26 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/Carsharing_in_Shanghai_China_Analysis_of_Behavioral_Response_to_a_Local_Survey_and_Potential_Competition.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/UNDERSTANDING_HOW_ECODRIVING_PUBLIC_EDUCATION_CAN_RESULT_IN_REDUCED_FUEL_USE_AND_GREENHOUSE_GAS_EMISSIONS.shtml Publications Understanding How Ecodriving Public Education Can Result in Reduced Fuel Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:05:23 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/UNDERSTANDING_HOW_ECODRIVING_PUBLIC_EDUCATION_CAN_RESULT_IN_REDUCED_FUEL_USE_AND_GREENHOUSE_GAS_EMISSIONS.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/Ridesharing_in_North_America_Past_Present_and_Future.shtml Publications <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">Ridesharing in North America: Past, Present, and Future</span> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 10:30:45 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/Ridesharing_in_North_America_Past_Present_and_Future.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/UC_MRPI_2011_Ecodriving_Workshop_Report.shtml Publications <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">UC MRPI 2011 Ecodriving Workshop Report</span> Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:36:51 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/UC_MRPI_2011_Ecodriving_Workshop_Report.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/BEHAVIORAL_RESPONSE_TO_HYDROGEN_FUEL_CELL_VEHICLES_AND_REFUELING_RESULTS_OF_CALIFORNIA_DRIVE_CLINICS.shtml Publications <blockquote type="cite"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></span>Behavioral Response to Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles and Refueling: Results of California Drive Clinics<span style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><br /> </span></blockquote> Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:06:32 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/BEHAVIORAL_RESPONSE_TO_HYDROGEN_FUEL_CELL_VEHICLES_AND_REFUELING_RESULTS_OF_CALIFORNIA_DRIVE_CLINICS.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/Public_Perception_of_a_Feebate_Policy_in_California_2009_Statewide_Telephone_Survey_and_Focus_Group_Results.shtml Publications Public Perception of a Feebate Policy in California: 2009 Statewide Telephone Survey and Focus Group Results<br /> Mon, 01 Aug 2011 15:37:04 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/Public_Perception_of_a_Feebate_Policy_in_California_2009_Statewide_Telephone_Survey_and_Focus_Group_Results.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/HANGZHOU_PUBLIC_BICYCLE_UNDERSTANDING_EARLY_ADOPTION_AND_BEHAVIORAL_RESPONSE_TO_BIKESHARING_IN_HANGZHOU_CHINA.shtml Publications Hangzhou Public Bicycle: Understanding Early Adoption and Behavioral Response to Bikesharing in Hangzhou China<br /> Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:25:27 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications/HANGZHOU_PUBLIC_BICYCLE_UNDERSTANDING_EARLY_ADOPTION_AND_BEHAVIORAL_RESPONSE_TO_BIKESHARING_IN_HANGZHOU_CHINA.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications_by/pubs_topic.shtml Publications by Thu, 26 Jul 2007 11:24:20 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications_by/pubs_topic.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications_by/pubs_date.shtml Publications by Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:12:31 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications_by/pubs_date.shtml http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications_by/pubs_author.shtml Publications by Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:26:02 PST http://www.innovativemobility.org/publications_by/pubs_author.shtml
