1. Public Electric Vehicle Sharing Program (PEVSP) 1.1 Electric Vehicle The second initiative of this scenario is to establish a Public Electric Vehicle Sharing Program (PEVSP). BBRT aims to change San Francisco’s travel pattern from driving to walking, bicycling and transit. However, there are still about 350,000 private vehicles in the city.

Figure 3. Unlinked public transit trips by urbanized area in 2013, National Transit Database. New York’s public transportation system considerably impacts the geography of the City. Due to the people-driven nature of mass transit use, areas with developed transportation systems often facilitate more compact infrastructural projects to conserve and maximize space. Public transportation directly drives this high-density land development, and effectively reduces the distance people need to travel…
