The effects of bikeshare systems on urban commuting patterns in the U.S.   aJournal of Policy Analysis and Management    a39(3), Summer, 2020: p.664-685  aUrban bikeshare systems have become increasingly popular in the U.S. in recent years. In this paper, I examine the effects of bikeshare systems on patterns of commuting to and from work in U.S. cities. To study this, I link cities across 2008 through 2016 American Community Survey (ACS) data and estimate the effects of bikeshare systems using both individual‐level ACS records and city panel data. Event‐study estimates suggest that bikeshare systems lead to a rise in bicycle commuting to and from work, and the effects of bikeshare systems are statistically and economically significant. I also find evidence of modal shifts after the introduction of bikeshare systems: While bicycle commuting rates increase, there is a decline in automobile commuting to and from work. – Reproduced   aJournal of Policy Analysis and Management    aTRANSPORT - UNITED STATES  cAR  00102ddc40709389981aIIPAbIIPAd2021-02-11h39(3), Summer, 2020: p.664-685pAR124268r2021-02-11yAR
