How Do We Measure Bike Share SuccessAPA Ohio Chapter Free event As bike sharing systems are proliferating in cities across the US, and early systems in Boston and Washington, DC are coming of age, we examine the different metrics on which bike share programs can be evaluated. What does bike share success mean? Financial self-sufficiency, or even profitability? Improved mobility? Improved public health? Reduced GHG emissions? How can we measure the cultural impact of bike share? Or should we simply be concerned about operational success -- keeping the trains running on time.
Objectives: Participants will learn about the different methods of evaluating bike sharing systems, and what each method can tell us. Analysis of the Hubway bike share system will be presented, based on ridership, survey, and operational data. Participants will be encouraged to think critically about the goals of urban bike share programs, and whether current systems are meeting those goals.
More Instructors: Jessica Robertson Jessica Robertson is Transportation Coordinator at the Metropolitan Area Planning Council. In addition to her other work on transportation finance and bicycle/pedestrian issues, Jessica

Scott Mullen Scott Mullen is General Manager of Hubway. Before joining Alta Bicycle Share Scott ran the national university program for Zipcar, and has also worked in print and broadcast media, including as managing editor of The Ride Magazine.

that balances transit, walking, and biking with automobiles to make Metro Boston more livable.
