U.S. Bikeshare and E-Scooter System Coverage from 2015 to 2025

U.S. cities served by public bikeshare and e-scooter systems, documented annually from 2015 to 2025. The dataset, maintained by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, includes counts of docking stations, dockless bikeshare systems, and e-scooter systems per city for each year. It provides a longitudinal view of micromobility infrastructure development across the United States.

Use Cases

• Analyze the growth of dockless bikeshare systems and e-scooter systems in U.S. cities over the 2015-2025 time range.
• Map the geographic expansion of station-based bikeshare systems using the primary city served and docking station count fields.
• Compare the adoption of different micromobility modes (docking stations vs. dockless bikeshare vs. e-scooter systems) across cities annually.
• Study the temporal coverage of systems operating at any point during a specified year to understand market entry and exit.

Strengths

• Provides a consistent 11-year time series from 2015 to 2025 for tracking micromobility trends.
• Includes specific quantitative counts for three system types: docking stations, dockless bikeshare systems, and e-scooter systems.
• Sourced from the authoritative U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD).
• Covers cities across the United States, offering national geographic scope.

Limitations

• The layer lists only the primary city served, which may underrepresent systems serving multiple cities.
• Counts represent systems operating at any point during a year, which may not reflect continuous annual availability.
• Data dictionary is required for full attribute interpretation, adding a prerequisite step for analysis.
