Denver’s Shared Micromobility Program has recently grown in popularity, leading to increased demand on the City’s bike+ infrastructure, and ultimately raising safety concerns around the state of this infrastructure. This Capstone project primarily explores the relationship between this program’s aggregated ridership data and crashes involving micromobility devices. The use of aggregated shared micromobility data in the urban planning process is new, but recent research and case studies have legitimized its application in the field. Through an analysis of these factors several location-based and programmatic recommendations have been made to improve the safety of Denver’s Shared Micromobility Program.
