The Equity Implications of Electric Bike Share
March 22, 2023
In Philadelphia and elsewhere, shared e-bikes have brought more people — and especially low-income, riders of color — to bicycling.
The Better Bike Share Partnership is a collaboration funded by The JPB Foundation to build equitable and replicable shared micromobility systems. The partners include The City of Philadelphia, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) and the PeopleForBikes Foundation. Initially funded in 2014 for a three-year period, The JPB Foundation has continued to support the program, most recently in 2020 for an additional three years.
