8 But Still Many Gaps Transit in suburbs and lower density areas more limited Mismatch jobs and housing Infrequent weekend and nighttime service Expensive to serve small clusters and lower density Most used transit lines are over crowded Expansion Funding lacking Connections between providers (stations and timing) limited

9 Shared Mobility Public Transit Ridesharing Carsharing Bike sharing Taxis & Limos Transportation Network Companies Shuttle services Jitneys Many Modes Evolving, many models, data and tech driven

10 Newest Shared Mobility Privately Owned Buses and Shuttles Operating on new routes using data analysis to find gaps and passengers Uber Pool and Lyft Lines Autonomous Vehicles Taxi Apps

11 Industry Growing Fast Uber Valued at $18.2 Billion

12 Traditional Trending Future I own and use my own transportation I own my transportation and/or access shared mobility options I access a menu of mobility options to meet my needs Suburban Rural Urban Core Urban Core Suburban Rural Transportation Approach Shifting of transportation norms 11

13 Shared Use Value greater Integrating Modes

14 Integration Vision One system select route, choose mode, book it and go!

15 13 Environmental Impact: North American Carsharing Report Between 9 to 13 vehicles removed, including postponed purchase 4 to 6 vehicles/carsharing vehicle sold due to carsharing Most shift due to 1 car households becoming carless Second largest shift, 2 car households become 1 car households, 25% sell a vehicle; 25% postpone purchase Net CO2 reduction of 27% observed and 43% full impact Martin, Shaheen, Lidicker, 2010

16 Environmental Impact: Bikesharing As much as 50% drop in driving North American Bike Sharing Study, Shaheen etal, 2014

18 Environmental Impact: Ridesourcing/Transportation Networking Companies Ridesourcing still new, with potential to impact VMT/ VKT and vehicle ownership Not enough research yet Preliminary study showed: - 90% of vehicle owners did not change ownership level - 40% drove less since using ridesourcing 16

19 Key Challenges Business Models: Hard to scale, public private partnerships, sponsorships, public companies Governance: Regulations lag, insurance, safety, sharing data, balancing multiple city objectives, what is fair?, which agency? Infrastructure: Use of public space, bus stops, parking, street allocation, bike lanes growth, multiple providers Different Platforms: Hard to connect without common standards

20 Opportunity Positive change that s good for everyone Quality of Life: increased options, public health, better usability for the customer, makes travel fun System efficiency: Reduced congestion, waste, optimized routing and vehicle type Sustainable mobility: Green, quiet, low carbon, energy savings, Economic Benefits: Less Expensive than car ownership, more savings that can fuel local economy
