Shared Ebike Potential: London and New York

Monday, November 26th, 2018

Shared ebikes, implemented at scale, offer the potential to switch a significant number of trips from vehicles and also to provide easier access to public transport for the first/last mile access/egress portion of these trips. This would grow the modest number of trips currently served by publicly-managed bike share systems (29,000 per day in London and 47,000 per day in New York) and increase the overall share of trips by bicycle. This report, undertaken by Steer on behalf of Uber presents, for the first time, an analysis of the potential for shared ebikes to revolutionize travel in two case study cities: London and New York.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
