Up to now, a lot of efforts on the promotion of bicycles motivated by
social issues, such as chronic diseases and global warming, have been
implemented. While the mode share of bicycle in California has been
recently increasing, more effective investment under the limiting funding
for transportation will be needed. Among the tide of the modal shift from
auto vehicle to sustainable transportation, one potential barrier in the
shift to biking would be the perception of bicycling and a lack of bicycling
experience (Rondinella et al., 2012). Having the experience of biking,
some people might be nudged toward the use of biking. Bike sharing
could be the catalyst for changing their travel behavior because of
affordable access and the possibility of bicycling without having to own a
bicycle. Through the biking experience, they might change their travel
mode or consider the bicycle as an alternative mode in their daily lives.
This research explores the difference of characteristics among bike users,
non-user but having positive attitude toward biking and others. Also, it
evaluates the change of potential user�s adoption of biking by the
introduction of bike sharing system. The primary dataset in this research
is California Millennials Dataset 2015 for X and Y generation�s travel
behavior. With choice model and statistical techniques, respondents�
mode choice and attitude toward biking in the area with or without bike
sharing service will be modelled. California Millennials Dataset 2018,
upcoming in 2019 Spring, will be also utilized to validate the models and
to evaluate their adoption. The result will give businesses and policy
makers a basis for development strategies for promoting the bike sharing
and the modal shift. |
