Evaluating Remote Repositioning for Shared Scooters

This project will evaluate the effects of remote-repositioning (RR) capabilities on shared scooter systems, considering (1) operator economics, (2) user experience, and (3) external costs and benefits. Data will be collected from a pilot project in Boise, Idaho, involving a collaboration among the City of Boise, scooter company Spin, and RR technology developer Tortoise.
