What is Park & Pedal?

Work

Think of it like Park and Ride but with e-bikes,

instead of buses and trains.

It uses the most efficient mode of

transportation for each leg of the

journey; a car for the highway or

the suburbs, and a bike to bypass

traffic congestion downtown.

Public Health Benefits


As people return to work after covid-19, many will be hesitant to use public transit. Single occupancy vehicle use is expected to increase, and traffic will be back in a big way.

Park & Pedal provides an individual, open air commute, while still reducing SOVs.

● Individual commute● Open air travel● No crowded confined cabins

Healthier

A predictable and active commute results in better mental health, lower burnout rates.4

For suburban driving commuters, is:

Faster Cheaper More Reliable Greener

Can save $4,000 - $12,000/commuter/year on parking and driving costs.1

In-app navigation with Park & Pedal is faster than driving for 38%-58% of urban workers.2

Arrive when planned, (e-bikes don’t get stuck in traffic).3

Eliminates the most polluting segment of the journey.

What time do you leave for a 9:00 am meeting?

Google Maps predicts a range for driving time based on possible

traffic, which varies as much as “30 min – 1 hour 5 min”.

E-bikes don’t get stuck in traffic, so Park & Pedal eliminates the

most unpredictable portion of the commute, allowing you to

arrive when you expect.

Greener

Park & Pedal eliminates the most polluting segment of the trip.

CO2 emissions per mile for a passenger vehicle greatly increase under 25 mph, and are even worse in stop and go traffic.

This is replaced with a zero emission e-bike.

Looking at the options for those living outside the city, Park & Pedal is the lowest cost and fastest.

Public transit would be a good option for many, but it is slower because it is not a door-to-door solution.


Complement to Shuttle Service

Provides service for those who can’t get to shuttles, with some unique benefits:

● Lower operating cost● No “first-mile” problem● More freedom during commute

Shuttles:● Solve last-mile problems● Reduce SOVs● Reduce CO2 emissions

Our e-bikes and charging stations can be used in other ways...


First-Mile to Shuttles or TransitOvernight Bikes

By placing e-bike stations at shuttle stops (or mass transit), commuters can ride one of our e-bikes home from the shuttle, keep it overnight (even locking it outside with the built-in lock), and ride it back to the shuttle the next morning.

● First-mile solution● Faster connection to shuttles● Shuttle connection without mass

transit

Placing e-bike stations at transit stops near employment centers allows them to be utilized as a round-trip last-mile solution.
