Book excerpt: This thesis looks at the effects of new mobility services on emissions, via travel behavior and vehicle design improvements. Using NHTS data we find that right sizing allowed by shared mobility services would significantly affect CAFE compliance because most fuel standards would be met by moving people into more fuel efficient vehicles and thus increasing the number of these sold by companies. We then found that right sizing has the ability to reduce fuel consumption by more than 40% depending on the car replacement scenario. These reductions can make additional improvements by incorporating bikeshare within the shared mobility service. To further understand the possible effects of bikeshare, we then focus our research in the Chicago area, where we find that bikeshare has a net positive impact on transit ridership, and that this effect increases as more time passes. We then looked at Portland’s Biketown to understand the effect of transit on bikeshare, but results were inconclusive. Overall we find that mobility services will likely reduce fuel use, and increasing bikeshare use can be used to grow this reduction, while also increasing the use of transit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy action to avoid the impending societal costs of climate change is particularly warranted in transport sector, which is responsible for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions in OECD countries. To design appropriate interventions in this sector, policy makers should account for the recent emergence of shared mobility services in urban areas and their potential advantages in terms of emissions mitigation. This study estimates the impact that the widespread uptake of shared mobility services could have on the carbon footprint of urban transport. To this end, it simulates the share of each transport mode and aggregate emissions from passenger transport in 247 cities across 29 OECD countries between 2015 and 2050. The analysis indicates that they have the potential to eliminate, on average, 6.3% of urban passenger transport emissions by the end of this period.

Book excerpt: "TRB Special Report 319 analyzes the ways that innovative transportation services--including ridesharing, carsharing, bikesharing, and microtransit--are changing mobility for millions of travelers. Such services could reduce congestion and emissions from surface transportation if regulated wisely to encourage concurrent, instead of sequential, ridesharing. Rapidly growing transportation network companies (TNCs), such as Uber and Lyft, however, are disrupting conventional taxi and limousine services and are raising policy challenges related to personal security and public safety, insurance requirements, employment and labor issues, and accessibility and equity. The committee's report offers guidance to state and local officials responsible for policy setting and regulation of for-hire transportation services in each of these areas. The report also addresses the need for greater consistency in regulations across jurisdictions and calls for TNCs to share more information about the volume, the frequency, and the types of trips they are providing, to allow for informed regulation and planning of transportation services"--provided by publisher.
Download or read book Sharing Mobilities written by Davide Arcidiacono and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines contemporary urban sharing mobilities, such as shared and public forms of everyday urban mobility. Tracing the social and economic history of sharing mobilities and examining contemporary case studies of mobility sharing services, such as Car2go, BlaBlaCar, and Uber, the authors raise questions about what these changes mean for access to and engagement with the public spaces of transport in the city. Drawing on the thought of Lefebvre, the book considers how contemporary sharing mobilities are affecting people’s ‘right to the city’, with particular attention paid to the privatised, frictionless practices of movement through the city. In addition, the authors ask what has happened to earlier forms of shared mobility and illustrate how some of these practices continue successfully today. Considering the potential that modern incarnations of shared mobilities offer to urban citizens for engaging in meaningful shared mobilities that are not simply determined by the interfaces of technology and market forces, this book will appeal to sociologists and geographers with interests in mobility and urban studies.

Download or read book The Role of Sharing Mobility in Contemporary Cities written by Guido Smorto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of sharing mobility is having a profound impact on urban landscapes. In fact, it is deeply affecting the traditional organization of local services by calling into question how urban transportation is planned, and by redesigning city spaces. Further, by connecting people to shared assets, services or both, sharing mobility is poised to facilitate the more efficient use of underutilized resources, becoming a powerful tool for economic growth and social inclusion, while also contributing to sustainability. That being said, the economic, social and spatial impacts of sharing mobility have not been sufficiently investigated, and so far, the evidence is mixed. From a normative standpoint, while it is relevant to better understand the relations between sharing mobility, the city and the environment, it is also of crucial importance to define new policies and sound rules for sharing mobility in urban areas. Against this backdrop, this book adopts a multidisciplinary perspective to explore the role that sharing mobility can play in the creation of more just and sustainable cities.
