This document outlines a proposal for a bike share program at USC. It describes collecting data on bike usage on campus and surveying students. Eight on-campus stations and six off-campus stations are proposed based on this information. Details are provided on the number of docks and bikes at each station. A financial plan estimates operating costs and proposes a pricing structure that would allow the program to breakeven with 2470 annual users. The system would be powered by both solar panels and the electric grid.

RV 2014: Eds and Meds- Leveraging Anchor Institutions to Create CommunityRail~Volution
Eds and Meds: Leveraging Anchor Institutions to Create Community AICP CM 1.5
Educational institutions and medical facilities are engaging in regional transformation. Traditionally, these organizations have been rather inward looking, examining growth through the prism of available real estate. That approach is changing, with new collaborative relationships geared towards potential growth in the organizations and the region. Already dominant employers in their regions, these organizations are anchored to and invested in their surrounding neighborhoods. Learn how the meds and eds are stretching outside their comfort zones to transform their neighborhoods through collaboration. Hear how they are engaged in planning high-quality, direct and attractive public transit services to connect institutions, job centers and adjacent neighborhoods. Finally, see how recent collaborations spanned sectors -- what strategies worked and what didn’t.

ATS14- Transit and active transportation- Jeff OwenBTAOregon
This session will highlight how transit forms the backbone of a larger active transportation system and helps connect travelers to areas that are beyond their reach by bike or walking alone. Hear about this framework from various scales – short trips, regional commutes, statewide travel and beyond. Presentations will cover recent trends and analysis in CTUs (cycle-transit users), bikes-on-board, bike parking, locating bike share with transit stations and planning efforts underway, as well as real stories from current travelers who combine active transportation and transit.
During the 2019 National Regional Transportation Conference (June 17 - 19, Columbus, OH), Eric Phillips shared information on the U.S. 33 Smart Mobility Corridor. This corridor links urban, suburban, exurban, and rural areas with connected infrastructure technology. The project is expected to have significant transportation system and economic development impacts on the region.
Title: Maximizing Biking and Walking Access to Transit
Track: Connect
Format: 90 minute panel
Abstract: Hear from agencies including King County Metro, Sound Transit, and TriMet about ways they have prioritized better walk and bike connections to transit. These investments can maximize transit ridership, especially important in an era of constrained transit funding, growing multi-modal transport demand, and transitioning land use patterns.
Presenters:
Presenter: Carol Cooper King County Metro Transit
Co-Presenter: Carrie Nielson Fehr & Peers
Co-Presenter: Jeff Owen TriMet

The Revenue Fund is a financing program for colleges and universities to build dormitories, parking facilities, wellness centers, and other revenue generating facilities on campus that do not serve an academic purpose. This session will discuss the history and details of the program, and what students should consider before using the Revenue Fund to build new facilities on campus.

4. Purpose of the Study
The main purpose is to design a bike share
program in order to attract new user through its
practicality and effectiveness, and to solve the
current bike – related problems such as:
• Improve USC community safety
• Reduce the number of the bicycles on
campus
• Propose an organized parking system for the
bicycles.
RTC OLIN HALL
5. Methodology
The program is designed based on
the actual bicycle demand on campus
that has been determined through
data collected from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, for one week.
An online survey was developed to
determine utilization factor, student
housing distribution and student
budget.
6. ASSUMPTIONS
Data collected is consistent during the
whole academic year
Survey results represent the entire
USC Community including students,
professors and Labors
Special events such as football
games, festivals and ceremonies
aren’t taken into consideration
Bicycles can only be used for 30
minutes for all types of subscription

• Each station can serve a circle with a diameter
of about 400 ft.
• All 8 stations cover the all hot sots on campus.
• Overlapping stations will be able to serve each
other during peak hours

• Financial Plan
• Conclusion
21. Financial plan
Operating costs such as rebalancing,
control center, power supply and
bicycle tune-up are planned to be
recovered by the system annual users
as per the following pricing
mechanism:Category Fees
Annual Membership (30 minutes free pass) $ 85
Monthly Membership (30 minutes free pass) $ 30
Weekly Membership ( 30 Minutes free Pass) $ 20
Daily Pass (60 Minutes free pass) $ 6
22. Financial Plan
The average annual operating costs
per bike is assumed to be $ 500.
The required number of annual users
to reach the breakeven point is 2470.
Initial capital shall come either from
the school or through commercial
sponsorship with investment banks
such as Citibank or Barclay's
23. CONCLUSION
8 stations are proposed on campus,
while 6 stations are proposed off
campus.
The entire system has the capacity to
serve 3500 users with annual
subscription.
The total number of annual users
required to breakeven the operating
costs is 2470.
Usage of both solar power and grid
electricity is needed.
