Abstract:

A bikeshare system is a transportation service where bicycles are available for shared use by individuals for short-term rentals at low or no cost. It offers an affordable, healthy, and environmentally friendly alternative for users, while also serving as a solution for those without personal vehicles and helping to reduce the rise in private car usage. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on bikeshare ridership, with a case study focused on the City of Houston. The data used in this study include bikeshare ridership records for 2019 and 2020, COVID-19 case data for Harris County residents in 2020, as well as temperature and precipitation data for Houston for the years 2019 and 2020. The methodology involved both descriptive analysis and the application of Negative Binomial regression modeling to explore the relationships between ridership (the dependent variable) and several independent variables.
