TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Bike-sharing station usage and the surrounding built environments in major Texas cities JO - Journal of planning education and research A1 - Alcorn, Louis G. A1 - Jiao, Junfeng SP - 122 EP - 135 VL - 43 IS - 1 N2 - This study analyzes the effect of different built environments on bike-share usage in nascent dock-based systems in three Texas cities. Past research offers little insight as to whether elements associated with higher bicycle usage in major cities affect ridership in secondary, developing bike-share markets within lower density American cities. In Austin and Houston, a positive relationship emerges between bike-share usage and proximity to high-comfort bicycle facilities. All three cities demonstrated surprisingly minimal relationship between bike-share usage and other proven drivers of bicycling activity in urban areas, which may result from system design for leisure- and recreation-based trips.
