  • Abstract:
    Sustainable transportation frequently describes the use of non-motorized transportation ; sources, primarily walking and bicycling (Toor and Havlick, 2004). Walking is a time ; honored method of getting around that most people can easily access. But bicycling is a ; mode of transportation that requires some basic equipment. At the same time, 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. Bicycling for commuting purposes is used by relatively few ; individuals in American society. Bicycling is primarily used for recreation, and as a form ; of mobility is concentrated among the young who are not yet able to drive. There have ; been places where bicycling commands a fairly high proportion of the modal share, and ; many of these places are focused around college and university campuses. In an effort to ; increase the use of bicycles in and around the campus of Kent State University, we ; decided that it would be advantageous to analyze the feasibility of introducing a bicyclesharing ; program.
