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.
