10 Kiosk Usage Social Bicycles data and GIS teams put together a research project looking into kiosk usage data from five existing systems. All systems are smart station-based X-axis = number of stations Y-axis = percentage of casual users Coordinates marked at 70% and 80% of casual trips shows percentage of kiosks capturing casual trips Packet Pg. 10

This approval will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. Attachment: IBC Final (3600 : FY 2015 Interim Budget Changes) David H. Bieter Mayor Page 1 Packet Pg. 25
