1 Cycling Economies Economic Impacts of Bike Lanes Daniel Arancibia
2 Introduction Research is showing that cyclists are good customers, that their numbers and economic impact increase with bike lanes, and that merchants overestimate the share of drivers who currently shop at their business.
3 Share of drivers: Overestimated Vancouver retail in Hornby and Dunsmuir streets (Stantec, 2011): - Merchants overestimated share of drivers by 100% (E: 40% A: 20%) - Underestimated share of cyclists by 50% (E: 4% A: 8%) Toronto retail in The Annex (TCAT, 2009): - 41% of retail owners perceived drivers made 11%- 25% of shoppers. A: 10% - 70% overestimated car mode share. - In 2009, 12% of surveyed customers were cyclists. Toronto retail in Bloor West Village (TCAT, 2010): - 44% of merchants perceived drivers made 21%- 50% of shoppers. A: 21% - 26% estimated the number of drivers to be 50%+ E= estimated; A = actual
4 The Vancouver Case Surveyed retail owners greatly overestimated the number of drivers, and underestimated cyclists by half: h"p://former.vancouver.ca/ctyclerk/cclerk/ /documents/penv3- BusinessImpactStudyReportDowntownSeparatedBicycleLanes- StantecReport.pdf
5 Cyclists: Great customers Cyclists in North American cities often spend more money per capita than drivers and transit users: In Toronto and Portland, after pedestrians, cyclists are responsible for the largest monthly per capita spending within a particular area. - OTREC, 2012; TCAT, 2009; 2010 In New York s East Village where bike lanes are in place cyclists top all groups, including pedestrians, in monthly per capita spending. - Transportation Alternatives, 2012 Bikeportland.org
6 Bike lanes: Good business ScientiIic studies show that installing bike lanes and related bicycling infrastructure leads to an increase in cycling. This is good for business. Even controlling for all other factors, the number of cyclists in a geographical area is expected to increase when facilities are added. - Buehler et al., 2012 In San Francisco, 4 years after bike lanes were added to Valencia St., 65% of business owners said these had a positive impact on business: - Department of Public Administration, San Francisco State University, 2003 h"p://
7 Bike lanes: Good business In New York, some beneiits of bike lane implementation include: Up to 177% increase in bicycle volumes on First and and Second Avenues (buffered bike lanes were incorporated to both). Accompanied by 47% fewer commercial vacancies compared to 2% more borough wide. 49% fewer commercial vacancies at Union Square (included widened sidewalks and a protected bike lane), compared to a 5% increase borough wide. Up to 49% increase in retail sales in businesses located at 9 th Ave. (where buffered bike lanes were added) compared to a 3% increase borough wide. - New York City Department of Transportation, 2012
8 Bike lanes: Good business In New York, some beneiits of bike lane implementation include: In the East Village: 61% of people say they are more likely to ride to the neighbourhood, and 73% feel that bike lanes have had a positive effect on the neighbourhood. - Transportation Alternatives, 2012 h"p://transalt.org/files/newsroom/reports/2012/evss_final.pdf
9 Bike lanes: Good business Some Toronto merchants have learned that cycling is good for business: In the Annex, 30% of retailers believe that replacing on- street parking with bike lanes would lead to more customers. 74% would perceive the trade- off either positive or neutral - TCAT, 2009 Picture: Lloyd Alter/CC BY 2.0
10 h"p://policy.rutgers.edu/faculty/pucher/tra960_01april2011.pdf Employers and Entrepreneurs Trend in share of workers commuting by Bicycle in North American Cities:
11 Conclusion Evidence suggests bike lanes are beneeicial to urban businesses and communities. Cyclists tend to be more reliable customers than drivers, spend larger amounts of money per capita per month, and are easily attracted with appropriate infrastructure. As a larger share of trips in North American cities are made by bicycle, businesses should seize the opportunity and support investment in cycling infrastructure to increase competitiveness.
