This study uses survey data collected from Washington DC and Los Angeles to evaluate if and to what extent shared e-scooters can enhance public transit and reduce driving. Mode choice models further suggest that males, non-Whites, and people without a college degree are more inclined to use shared e-scooters. While survey respondents intend to use shared escooters for short trips only, they are willing to use scoot-N-ride for medium-to-long trips.
Key words: micromobility, transit, new mobility, mode choice
