Encouraging Equitable Access to Public Bikesharing Systems

North American cities such as Washington, DC; Minneapolis; Denver; Boston; Toronto; and Montreal have implemented public bikesharing systems.

Although many of these systems are regarded as successful, concerns are growing that barriers to use exist for low-income users.
