UNDERSTANDING SHARED MIRCOMOBILITY
Inspired by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) bike-sharing survey toolkit, Dr. Chris Cherry and Yi Wen, researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, partnered with the New Urban Mobility alliance (NUMO) to create an E-Scooter Survey Question Toolkit. The toolkit intends to guide researchers, transportation practitioners, and other industry professionals in designing user surveys that collect consistent, reliable, and comparable data that contribute to a broader understanding of the impacts and use of e-scooters.
Prior to this development, each local government, transportation agency, and industry researcher has used its own surveys with varying questions, leading to flawed data. What and how questions are asked matters to measure the true impact that informs decision-making about shared micromobility!
