Abstract
Across
the
country,
many
different
cities
and
jurisdictions
are
implementing
bike-‐share
systems
to
provide
active
transportation
options
for
community
members
and
tourists
alike.
One
of
the
primary
struggles
many
systems
in
the
U.S.
are
facing
is
the
lack
of
equitable
strategies
promoting
bike
share
to
low-‐income
and
minority
populations
within
each
community.
This
study
aims
to
identify
the
strategies
existing
bike-‐share
systems
have
put
in
place
to
address
the
equity
issues
and
distinguish
which
strategies
have
been
successful,
as
well
as
those
that
have
fallen
short
of
their
goal.
Through
interviews
with
nearly
a
dozen
bike-‐share
operators
across
the
country,
this
research
provides
distinct
characteristics
for
successful
bike-‐share
equity
strategies
for
the
City
of
Eugene
to
consider
when
implementing
its
bike-‐share
system.
