In 2011, a small pilot bike share program was established in the town core of Kailua, Hawai'i, with funding from the Hawai'i State Department of Health. The Kailua system consisted of two stations with 12 bicycles, and the goal was to secure additional funding to expand the station network in the future. Community feedback consistently indicated support for the bike share program. However, system metrics showed low levels of usage, averaging 41.5 rides per month (2011-2014). From observational data, users were primarily tourists. With minimal local staff, the bike share program had limited resources for promotion and education, which may have hindered potential use by local residents. Management of station operations and bike maintenance were additional, ongoing barriers to success. Despite the challenges, the pilot bike share program was valuable in several ways. It introduced the bike share concept to Hawai'i, thereby helping to build awareness and connect an initial network of stakeholders. Furthermore, the pilot bike share program informed the development of a larger bike share program for urban Honolulu. As limited information exists in the literature about the experiences of smaller bike share programs and their unique considerations, this article shares lessons learned for other communities interested in starting similar bike share programs.
2011年，在夏威夷州卫生部的资助下，在夏威夷凯卢阿镇中心设立了一个小型共享单车试点项目。凯卢阿系统由两个站点和12辆自行车组成，目标是获得额外资金，以便未来扩大站点网络。社区反馈一直表明对共享单车项目的支持。然而，系统指标显示使用率较低，2011年至2014年期间平均每月骑行41.5次。从观测数据来看，用户主要是游客。由于当地工作人员极少，共享单车项目用于推广和教育的资源有限，这可能阻碍了当地居民的潜在使用。站点运营管理和自行车维护是取得成功的另外两个持续存在的障碍。尽管存在这些挑战，共享单车试点项目在几个方面还是很有价值的。它将共享单车概念引入了夏威夷，从而有助于提高认识并建立起一个初步的利益相关者网络。此外，共享单车试点项目为檀香山城区更大规模的共享单车项目的发展提供了参考。鉴于文献中关于较小规模共享单车项目的经验及其独特考量的信息有限，本文分享了对有意启动类似共享单车项目的其他社区的经验教训。
