A Meta-analysis of the Induced Travel due to E-scooters

The e-scooter is a relatively new transport mode that primarily has replaced other modes. However, e-scooters have also generated some new travel. A meta-analysis was carried out on 192 outcomes of retrospective estimates of the proportion of current e-scooter trips that would not have been carried out of e-scooters were not available. The meta-analysis estimate of induced travel is about four percent, based on the 192 survey outcomes from 95 case-areas. Meta-regression shows that the proportion of induced travel due to e-scooters tends to be higher in areas where travel by car dominates.
