Charging Ahead : Increasing UBC's Sustainable Mode Share with E-Bikes Craig, Chelsea; Farias, Adriana Valentina; Park, Jimin; Kathuria, Pulkit; Pagnucco, Bruce; Pan, Charles; Wang, Xuerou

Abstract

UBC aims to achieve a sustainable mode share of 67% by 2040. Currently, 55% of trips to and from UBC are made by sustainable modes, with only 1.4% of trips made by bicycle. E-bikes could play a significant role in bridging this gap as they enable more people to switch from commuting by single-occupancy vehicle to a sustainable mode. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community. The reader should bear in mind that this is a student project/report and is not an official document of UBC. Furthermore readers should bear in mind that these reports may not reflect the current status of activities at UBC. We urge you to contact the research persons mentioned in a report or the SEEDS Coordinator about the current status of the subject matter of a project/report.”
