Sustainable transportation frequently describes the use of non-motorized transportation sources, primarily walking and bicycling (Toor and Havlick, 2004). Walking is a time honored method of getting around that most people can easily access. But bicycling is a mode of transportation that requires some basic equipment. At the same time, bicycling can provide tremendous mobility while also being environmentally friendly, less costly in terms of parking and roadway infrastructure, and an ideal way of introducing exercise into people's daily lives. Bicycling for commuting purposes is used by relatively few individuals in American society. Bicycling is primarily used for recreation, and as a form of mobility is concentrated among the young who are not yet able to drive. There have been places where bicycling commands a fairly high proportion of the modal share, and many of these places are focused around college and university campuses. In an effort to increase the use of bicycles in and around the campus of Kent State University, we decided that it would be advantageous to analyze the feasibility of introducing a bicycle sharing program.
