Although there is a rise in popularity in BSS, the adhesion to this mode of transportation does not appear equal in gender, and this has increased the interest in exploring the factors affecting its usage. This study specifically identifies the factors that influence gender differences in bike-sharing programs. Using data compiled from Seattle’s Pronto Cycle Share system between October 2014 and March 2017, this study contributes to filling the gender gap in bicycle-sharing literature. Using a multilevel approach to statistical modeling, which could easily be applied to other regions, this study took Seattle land use and built environment attributes of arrival and departure stations and correlated it to the bike-share usage for each gender. The results obtained show that there is, in fact, a correlation between bike-share usage and the built environment. The gender analysis concludes that even though males and females are both affected by the built environment, the magnitude of each variable's influence on the distinct genders is different. Specifically, there is more factor that affects women than men. The findings allow us to identify factors contributing to increased bicycle-sharing use in Seattle and provide recommendations on station size and location decisions.Neto, Miguel de Castro Simões FerreiraRUNLopes, Beatriz Rodrigues Vieira2022-09-05T14:26:19Z2022-07-122022-07-12T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/143473TID:203058950enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:21:48Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/143473Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:50:57.305728Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
