San Francisco was one of the first cities in the United States to create a permit system for stationless bikeshare, and later, scooters. This research investigates and evaluates San Francisco’s scooter and stationless bikeshare pilot permit programs using data collected by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). This research evaluates the use of scooters and stationless bikeshare as a first/last mile transit option, their effect on vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and their accessibility in disadvantaged areas.
