Putting the environmental impact of vehicles and services in the public purview.

Environment Outcomei

Environment

Reduce overall energy consumption (including operations) and promote a shift towards more energy efficient transport modes.

How can cities evaluate progress towards this goal?

Evaluation Metrics

Fleetwide average kilowatt hours (kWh) per passenger mile

View Data Required

Average kilowatt hours (kWh) per passenger mile disaggregated by vehicle model

View Data Required

Evaluation Metrics

Number and percentage of trips that added or replaced other modes disaggregated by mode (should also include new trips taken)

View Data Required

Miles/kilometers that would’ve been taken on another mode

Equity Questions

Are more, less sustainable trips being replaced in underserved neighborhoods?

Equity Metrics

Comparison of the number of trips that added or replaced other modes in underserved areas vs. total service area

Evaluation Metrics

Total trips by time/day/week/month

(Cities and operators should work together to determine how best to count trips. Such as whether or not to include trips that only start, end, or pass through the service area or trips with extra-short or -long durations that likely aren’t real trips.)

Evaluation Metrics

Number of rides per user (reported through surveys and by companies)

Evaluation Metrics

Survey questions related to why, or why not, using micromobility (should also be correlated by use frequency)

Evaluation Metrics

Average time for a vehicle between trips by hours (should also be correlated geospatially)

Evaluation Metrics

Average daily utilization rate

(Cities and operators should work together to determine an appropriate time window (ex. 48 hours) for calculation as some vehicles may have a start event, but no close event potentially resulting in an inaccurate count.)
