Shared electric scooter services (SESS) have gained popularity in many cities as an emerging mobility mode. However, SESS is attributed to low utilization rates some cities. In this context, the significance of users' satisfaction with provided services, along their loyalty, becomes particularly pronounced. Therefore, it essential evaluate service quality (SQ) from perspective and understand its effect on which are critical factors for long-term durability success service. Thus, study examines determinants user loyalty toward SESS. For this, we conducted online survey among users Chicago. We analyzed responses using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) reflexive thematic analysis (TA). Our results confirm quality-value-satisfaction-loyalty paradigm indicate that perceptions SQ, including safety security, availability, interface, perceived affordability, significantly contribute enhancement Perceived value (hedonic value, utilitarian affordability) mediate impact SQ loyalty. Additionally, those who perceive cost-effective report higher levels. Furthermore, pro-environmental attitudes view environmentally friendly more likely derive hedonic exhibit The TA uncovers key challenges perspective, pricing, timing, end-trip facilities (e.g., parking), street pavement condition, vendor operational zoning, fleet quality, a specific emphasis GPS accuracy. These findings provide valuable insights into behavioral mechanisms, can be considered manifest improvement enhancing efficiency.

Shared bicycle and e-scooter programs, which we refer to as 'shared micromobility', have been expanding in cities across the globe. To date, little research has directly examined role that shared micromobility programs play supporting travel needs of low-income populations. fill this need, paper aims evaluate a subsidy program for riders by examining demographics, usage patterns, benefits barriers relative general riders. We explore aim using survey 1,037 Lime customers from United States, Australia New Zealand. operates e-bike seventeen countries over 200 around world. They operate called 'Lime Access' provides subsidised rides qualifying customers. Using descriptive comparative statistics, find Access were more likely than be locals who use utilitarian purposes (commuting, shopping) regular part their daily patterns (35% used vs 7% non-Access riders) combination with transit (44% connected on last trip 23% non-Access). Open-ended comments revealed important played meeting mobility customers, especially disability or do not own car. The findings suggest if want expand uptake among populations, they may consider agreements incentivise support expansion ridership programs.

As a trending mobility choice, e-scooters have become popular in many cities. A number of authorities initiated shared e-scooter trial schemes to assess the feasibility vehicles prior enacting official legalisation. This paper aims provide an evidence review and investigate how existing may inform long-term policies. carries significant relevance for jurisdictions that are conflicting position with e-scooters, such as New South Wales (NSW), Australia whose context motivates this study. The focuses on three themes derived from experience within broader micromobility landscape, namely: safety; where fit into modal landscape; environmental impacts. Findings confirm ensuring safety requires complex solutions, which include clear regulatory framework education skill training, innovative data collection analysis methods, approach management is user-based, location-based, time-based. In terms policymakers should encourage first last-mile combinations public transport, consideration user characteristics; while climate impact strongly correlated mode replaced by trips. provides insights regulation positioning e-scooters.

Abstract Micro-mobility transport modes like e-bikes and e-scooters promise higher flexibility when covering the first/last mile trip from/to public stop/station to destination point vice-versa. However, safety concerns about riding a micro vehicle in mixed traffic limit of shared mobility make conventional ones still more attractive, e.g., private car walking. This study investigates effect perceived mode choice by conducting an image-based double stated preference experiment targeted at potential micro-mobility users developing ordinal logistic regression models. The Value-of-Safety (VoS) is introduced. It refers additional distance user willing exchange avoid unsafe path. Main findings show that space can be middle-ground solution, as it reports lower heterogeneity among individuals terms perceptions. intensive use mixed-traffic decreases pedestrians, while e-bikers are threatened existence heavy motorized traffic. Low mean VoS also reported for e-scooters, demonstrating unwillingness service either detour or this vehicle. e-bike estimated almost equal car. could be, hence, concluded systematically explain unobserved disutility e-bikes.

Shared Micromobility systems in urban regions hold the potential to reduce private vehicle usage and boost public transport patronage. To effectively achieve these goals, a comprehensive approach integrating micromobility is essential.

The integration of shared e-scooters with public transit is a promising solution for urban mobility's first/last-mile challenge. This study explores spatiotemporal factors influencing this integration, using 35-day e-scooter trip data from Chicago. Employing random-effect negative binomial approach, we modeled the frequency trips to access/egress to/from bus stops and train stations. Results indicate that weather conditions, design features like intersection density, multimodal network density significantly influence usage. system characteristics such as service have positive effect on trains while similar was not significant. Furthermore, safety-related variables accident crime rates well demographic were also revealed be significant in our study. These findings offer vital insights planners policymakers infrastructure, safety enhancements, interventions encourage efficient e-scooter-public integration.
