Abstract:Micromobility (defined as shared bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters) represent a significant opportunity to replace short distance trips made by personally owned vehicles (POVs) and provide first-and last-mile solutions for underserved public transit riders. This research develops a methodology for estimating the upper bound number of short-distance POV trips that could be replaced by micromobility modes and applies this method to a case study in Seattle, Washington to estimate the resulting environmental, congestion, and economic benefits. These estimates are based on a static traffic assignment model, which is used to assess how peak hour traffic conditions could change in scenarios where micromobility has replaced a portion of short car trips.
