Micro-Mobility Promises and Challenges in the Pacific Northwest |
摘要: |
The research objective of this project is to identify the promises, opportunities, and associated challenges of the rapid adoption of micro-mobility services (shared e-scooters and bicycles) in cities and college campuses in the Pacific Northwest, specifically to a diverse population. A focus on younger demographics, people of color, and low-income families as well as a consideration of living environments (urban vs. rural) will be taken.
The project should develop a deep understanding the e-scooter users’ characteristics (i.e., who are the users) and behaviors (perception and preferences). Critical factors affecting their choice behaviors (i.e., for what purposes, such as transportation or recreation) and market potential for these “light-weight” personal transportation modes should also be understood.
As a result of these objectives, the knowledge gap of the ways in which these factors might impact and contribute to the emergence of a new ecosystem of shared e-micro-mobility will be filled. |
