Transit and Micromobility
Micromobility refers to small, low-speed vehicles intended for personal use and includes station-based bikeshare systems, dockless bikeshare systems, electric-assist bikeshare, and electric scooters. Micromobility has the potential to increase the number of transit trips by expanding the reach of
multimodal transportation, but it also could replace transit trips.
The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's
TCRP Research Report 230: Transit and Micromobility
provides an analysis of the
full benefits and impacts of micromobility on public transportation systems in transit-rich markets as well
as in medium-sized and smaller urban areas.
