Seattle Bikeshare Feasibility Study 2011

The City of Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) contracted the University of Washington Bike-Share Studio to produce a feasibility study of bike-share programs in Seattle. Over the course of this project, we compiled a summary of the leading edge bike-share programs; conducted demand analyses to identify potential first-, second-, and third-stage implementation areas in Seattle; and estimated the number of trips a program might generate, as well as the number of bicycles and stations necessary to sustain such a program.
