This study evaluates if and to what extent shared e-scooters can enhance public transit and reduce driving. Survey results from Washington D.C. and Los Angeles confirm that many have used shared e-scooters to connect with transit and to replace car trips. Mode choice models further suggest that males, non-Whites, and people without a college degree are more inclined to use shared e-scooters. The stated preference for combined use of shared e-scooters and transit (“scoot-N-ride”) is stronger among non-White respondents, but it does not differ by gender, age, income, or education. Moreover, we find that “e-scooter + transit” bundled pricing can effectively promote scoot-N-ride. Finally, while survey respondents intend to use shared e-scooters for short trips only, they are willing to use scoot-N-ride for medium-to-long trips. We call for coordination between transit agencies and e-scooter operators to maximize the potential for shared micromobility to enhance transit and reduce driving.

本研究评估共享电动滑板车是否以及在何种程度上可以改善公共交通并减少驾驶。华盛顿特区和洛杉矶的调查结果证实，许多人使用共享电动滑板车连接公共交通并取代汽车出行。模式选择模型进一步表明，男性、非白人和没有大学学位的人更倾向于使用共享电动滑板车。非白人受访者更倾向于同时使用共享电动滑板车和公交（“scoot-N-ride”），但性别、年龄、收入或教育程度并无差异。此外，我们发现“电动滑板车+公交”的捆绑定价可以有效地促进 scoot-N-ride。最后，虽然受访者只打算在短途旅行中使用共享电动滑板车，但他们愿意在中长途旅行中使用 scoot-N-ride。
