A new study confirms that dockless bike share has proven more successful in reaching a more diverse population in D.C. than the more traditional bike share system, Capital Bikshare.
"Dockless bike share is doing a better job reaching people of color than traditional city-sponsored bike-sharing systems," reports Angie Schmitt.
"Black residents in D.C. are far more likely to have tried dockless bike share or e-scooters from firms such as Spin, Lime, Bird and Jump than the public bike system, Capital Bikeshare," explains Schmitt in more detail.
Schmitt is sharing results of a new study by Populous, described in detail in a blog post by Regina Clewlow.
