The Long Beach Public Works Department is asking residents to take an online survey on the Long Beach Bike Share Program.
The anonymous survey takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete and asks about the City’s bike share program as well as the use of e-scooters. According to a social media post from the Public Works Department, the purpose of the survey is so the City can better understand how the bike share and scooter share programs are being used locally.
Under the Long Beach Bike Share program, 650 bicycles throughout the city can be rented out, with residents able to pick up and drop off the bikes at dedicated hubs. The Bike Share program can be paid for by the hour, monthly and annually.
Three scooter share companies (Veo, Bird and Lime) are also active in Long Beach. Under the City’s Shared Micromobility Permit Program, each company can deploy up to 1,000 e-scooters throughout Long Beach.
Some of the survey questions include the following:
- Have you used bike share in Long Beach?
- Have you used a scooter share in Long Beach?
- If electric bicycles (e-bikes) were available as part of the bikeshare fleet, how would your use of bikeshare change?
- How would you rate the number of e-scooters available in Long Beach?
- How much would you be willing to pay to use bike share or scooter share to get to a destination 10 minutes (~2 miles) away?
The survey can be taken until Aug. 28 on the online survey platform Alchemer.
