shared transportation/mobility

Shared mobility includes bikes, cars, and scooters available for short-term rental, usually through stations spread throughout an area.

Costs:

• Bike share systems: $15,000 to $100,000, depending on the number of bikes and stations

• Scooter share systems: $20,000 to $80,000

• Car share services: $10,000 to over $100,000

Key Considerations:

• Availability of space for stations

• Population density and demand

• Access to power for charging vehicles

 
 
 

Field Conditions:

Best suited for dense downtown areas, central business districts (CBDs), or mobility hubs where there is high demand for shared transportation options.

 
 

bicycle signal phasing

Designated traffic signals at intersections that indicate when cyclists have the right of way to cross safely.

Installation Costs:

Ranges from $1,000 to $100,000 per intersection, depending on the number of signal heads, system complexity, and type of bike detection technology used.

Key Considerations:

• Type of bike infrastructure present

• Presence of other roadway users (vehicles, pedestrians)

• Priority given to different users at the intersection

Field Conditions:

Ideal for intersections and areas with existing bike facilities, especially in denser locations where multiple transportation modes converge and signalized intersections are present.

 

leading pedestrian interval

Traffic signals adjusted to give pedestrians a head start by allowing them to enter the crosswalk before vehicles get a green light.

Installation Costs:

Typically ranges from $200 to $1,200 per intersection, depending on the existing infrastructure.

Key Considerations:

• Availability and type of pedestrian infrastructure

• Presence of other roadway users

• Priority assigned to different users at the intersection

 
 

Representative Use Cases – Many

examples.

New York City

https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/bike-lpi-study-memo.pdf

Field Conditions:

Best suited for signalized intersections that include pedestrian facilities such as crosswalks, curb ramps, and sidewalks.

buffered bike/micromobility lanes

Dedicated lanes for bikes and micromobility devices that include a physical or painted buffer to separate cyclists from vehicle traffic or parked cars.

Costs:

Typically ranges from $40,000 to $118,000 per mile, depending on design features and materials used.

Key Considerations:

• May require cyclists to merge with traffic at intersections

• Sufficient roadway space is necessary for bike and buffer lanes

• Safety considerations for all users

• Appropriate widths for both bike lanes and buffers

• Placement and impact of nearby parking spaces

 
 
 

Field Conditions:

Best suited for medium- to high-density areas where there is available or adaptable right-of-way (ROW) to accommodate the bike and buffer lanes.
