Electric Bike Share Feasibility Study (New York, NY)

The above document contains excerpts from the final study. A sub consultant provided some of the data analyses in these excerpts, but I developed the document layout, all of the writing and research is my own, and I created most of the graphics myself (except where other sources are credited).

I developed the graphic above to help visualize how an electric bicycle share docking station could be connected to the grid in New York City, for which I used SketchUp and Illustrator to combine an existing schematic and bike share model.
I created these maps to visualize the difference in estimated service area coverage between standard bike share bicycles and electric-assist bike share bicycles. The GIS network analysis model inputs were based upon expected changes in average speed and consumer behavior, focusing on New York City and select Upstate cities. 
Some of the input data was determined with the help of a physicist working on the project as a subconsultant. I managed the inputs, prepped all of the required data in GIS, and created the maps themselves.
Starting with the above map, the results are displayed here.
