Developing a Bike-Sharing Program at Kent State University and Kent, Ohio

项目名称：	Developing a Bike-Sharing Program at Kent State University and Kent, Ohio
摘要：	Bicycling can provide tremendous mobility while also being environmentally friendly, less costly in terms of parking and roadway infrastructure, and an ideal way of introducing exercise into people's daily lives. However, bicycling for commuting purposes is used by relatively few individuals in American society. Since many people do not have access to working bikes, one of the most effective policies would provide increased access. Programs that put more bicycles on the streets would also work to increase awareness and make bicycling safer for all. Among the most useful interventions is a program that provides operating bicycles for short term usage meant solely for the purpose of getting from one place to another. This proposal looks at the feasibility of initiating a bike-sharing program at Kent State University, in coordination with the city of Kent, Ohio. Results from this study could be used by other universities interested in incorporating similar programs on their own campuses.
