Designing the Future of Student Transit
Research project focused on, Florida Atlantic University's Boca Raton Campus, delivering a sustainable and accessible bike-sharing program tailored for campus scale.
⭐ Featured Activities
🚲 Explore Key Findings
Discover how FAU’s campus density, trip distances, and surrounding urban structure support the implementation of a bike-sharing system. This section highlights the most important insights from the research, including mobility patterns, connectivity gaps, and opportunities for sustainable transportation improvements.
🗺️ View Proposed Bike Share Locations
Explore the proposed station locations designed to maximize accessibility and ridership. These locations focus on high-demand areas such as campus housing, academic buildings, and major destinations including Mizner Park and the Brightline Station.

The Vision Behind the Wheels
My initiative was born from a desire to redefine campus mobility and improve connectivity to surrounding urban destinations. By integrating a seamless bike-sharing network into Florida Atlantic University, I targeted a significant environmental milestone: a 15% reduction in the campus carbon footprint. This project isn't just about transportation; it's about fostering a culture of sustainability and providing students with a healthy, efficient way to navigate the academic and social aspects of their life. By implementing a deepened connectivity to many popular social hubs these small shifts in travel habits lead to massive shifts in ecological impact.
