1 Assessment of Infrastructure and Institutional Framework for Integration of Cycling and Mass Rapid Transit System: The case study of Taipei Máté Sebők S.K. Jason Chang National Taiwan University Velo-city 2018

2 02 OUTLINE I. Introduction II. Station analysis III. Objective and methodology IV. Research and result introduction V. Preliminary suggestions on the guideline

3 03 INTRODUCTION Ilha Formosa Beautiful island Densely populated 23 million people; 90% live at the Western Coast Taipei City New Taipei City 6.5 million people in the Taipei Metropolitan Area clustercollaboration.eu trvl.com

4 Flickr.com 04 Affected by car-oriented development, but it is changing: High CO2 emission 14 million scooters From COD to TOD Shutterstock.com Globally No. 19 in emission/ capita 14% of CO2: transportation sector 3.5 million in TMA ~600 scooters /1000people 132KM metro, 117 stations Double in the next 10 years

5 Promote alternative modes ~500 KM bike lanes and tracks Public bike: 884 stations & 32,000 bikes in the TMA bike parking / metro station Bike + Transit integrated monthly pass $43USD/month

6 06 STATION ANALYSIS 1 2 Bike lanes are provided on the sidewalk 3 4 Pavement: bricks, concrete pavers or flexible asphalt 5 Bike lanes provided next to pedestrian crossing Obstructions (bus stop) and pedestrians Lack of integration between bike lanes; detours

7 07 Does bike infrastructure consider all the: I. Objective: Create a guideline that the Taipei city government can use to build the most suitable infrastructure for integration of public transport and bicycle II. Methodology: 1. International guidelines 2. User preference based on survey 1 Design requirements 2 Locals preferences

8 08 SURVEY Total: 466 respondents 15 metro stations 46% of the total respondent bike at least once a week to the MRT station 58% of the total respondents said willing to bike to the MRT station in the future

9 09 RESULTS 4 attributes out of 8! Significant attributes Attributes Non-significant attributes Exclusive bike lanes/tracks along: - Major roads - Secondary roads - Sidewalks - Intersections - Pedestrians walking on bike lane/track Safety Comfort Coherence - Priority for bikes along local streets - Cycling in pedestrian zones - Pavement flatness - Obstructions in the bike lanes/track - Well-integrated bike lanes/tracks Attractiveness - Lighting provided at night - Detours along the way Directness - Wayfinding (distance, direction) - Number of bicycle parking - Additional services at the metro station for cyclists Parking - Security at the bike parking - Weather-proof bike parking

10 10 EXCLUSIVE BIKE LANE ALONG ROADS Variable T-ratio Variable T-ratio MRNOT SECOK CANNOT ACCEPT TO BIKE ON MAJOR ROAD WITHOUT BIKE LANE Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike CAN ACCEPT TO BIKE ON SECONDARY ROAD WITHOUT BIKE LANE Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike

11 11 BIKE LANE ON THE SIDEWALK & PEDESTRIANS Variable T-ratio Variable T-ratio SWOK PEDNOT SATISFIED WITH THE EXCLUSIVE BIKE TRACK ON THE SIDEWALK Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike 5 AGREE THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY PEDESTRIANS WALKING ON THE BIKE LANE Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike

12 12 BIKE LANE AT INTERSECTIONS & DETOURS Neutrality reduced willingness to bike (Infrequent riders) Variable T-ratio Variable T-ratio CROSSNEU DTNEU Making Space for Cycling (2014) 52 Satisfied: 65% willing to bike 48 Satisfied: 64% willing to bike 38 Unsatisfied: 60% willing to bike 40 Unsatisfied: 59% willing to bike NEUTRAL TO THE BIKE LANE AT THE INTERSECTION Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike NEUTRAL TO TAKE DETOURS OFTEN Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike

13 13 EXCLUSIVE BIKE PARK & ADDITIONAL SERVICES AT THE STATIONS Bike parking at Fuzhong MRT station Bike repair shop at a biketransit transfer station, Leuven Variable T-ratio Variable T-ratio BPAROK 1.66 SRVOK EU PRESTO (2010) SATISFIED WITH THE NUMBER OF BICYLE PARKING SPACE Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike 6 AGREE THAT ADDITIONAL BIKE-RELATED SERVICE IS NEEDED AT THE MRT STATION Willing to bike Neutral Unwilling to bike

14 City model: Stubborn3D 14 PRELIMINARY SUGGESTIONS ON THE GUIDELINE Exclusive bike lane along major roads

15 City model: Stubborn3D Exclusive bike lane along major roads Bike tracks on sidewalk are ok, but consider better separation between cyclists and pedestrians 15

16 City model: Stubborn3D Exclusive bike lane along major roads Bike tracks on sidewalk are ok, but consider better separation between cyclists and pedestrians Redesign the bike lanes at the intersection 16

17 City model: Stubborn3D Exclusive bike lane along major roads Bike tracks on sidewalk are ok, but consider better separation between cyclists and pedestrians Redesign the bike lanes at the intersection Secondary roads: no bike lanes were still acceptable 17

18 Exclusive bike lane along major roads Bike tracks on sidewalk are ok, but consider better separation between cyclists and pedestrians Redesign the bike lanes at the intersection Minimize the need for frequent detours; consistent cycling infrastructure Secondary roads: no bike lanes were still acceptable 18 City model: Stubborn3D

19 Exclusive bike lane along major roads Bike tracks on sidewalk are ok, but consider better separation between cyclists and pedestrians Redesign the bike lanes at the intersection Minimize the need for frequent detours; consistent cycling infrastructure Provide sufficient parking space Secondary roads: no bike lanes were still acceptable 19 City model: Stubborn3D

20 Exclusive bike lane along major roads Bike tracks on sidewalk are ok, but consider better separation between cyclists and pedestrians Redesign the bike lanes at the intersection Minimize the need for frequent detours; consistent cycling infrastructure Provide sufficient parking space Provide additional services at the station Secondary roads: no bike lanes were still acceptable 20 City model: Stubborn3D
