• 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.
