63 Shared electric motorized scooters (i.e., shared e-scooters) , such as the one shown in Figure 7-1, are one of the fastest-growing micromobility modes in the United States.

64 Recent Decline in Public Transportation Ridership: Analysis, Causes, and Responses travel by e-scooter. Additionally, one of the trip ends occurs outside the shared e-scooter service area, since shared e-scooters -- like those in Louisville -- typically operate in a small geographic area in the center of most cities.

The Impact of Shared E-scooters on Bus Ridership in Louisville, Kentucky 65 7.4 Assigning Shared E-scooter Trips to Transit Routes The shared e-scooter trip data used in this analysis have the start and end points but not the complete route of the shared e-scooter trip. Therefore, this study proposed an assignment method to attribute shared e-scooter trips to transit routes as described in this section.

66 Recent Decline in Public Transportation Ridership: Analysis, Causes, and Responses as substituting if the shared e-scooter trip distance was greater than 0.1 miles and both the shared e-scooter trip start and end points were located within the catchment area for a specific local bus route. The total count of competing shared e-scooter trips was determined for each local bus route for each day during the period of analysis.

The Impact of Shared E-scooters on Bus Ridership in Louisville, Kentucky 69 similar counts limit the variability of this variable in the model, which is one of the limitations of this experimental design. Therefore, the relationship between express bus ridership and shared e-scooters requires further study.

70 Recent Decline in Public Transportation Ridership: Analysis, Causes, and Responses 7.6 Conclusions, Discussion, and Implications of Shared E-scooters Analysis As shared e-scooters are gaining popularity in the United States, their impacts on transit ridership are still largely unknown. This study conducted an empirical analysis to explore the impacts of shared e-scooters on bus ridership using Louisville as a case study.
