NACTO's Walkable Station Spacing is Key to Successful, Equitable Bike Share makes the connection between station density, service quality and equity, and provides a data - driven analysis for system operators looking to expand the reach and
utility of their bike share systems.
Looking at ridership data from a variety of U.S. bike share systems, NACTO finds that
the utility of a bike share system, as well as ridership, increase exponentially when stations are closer together.
