Chart 4.24 - 2010-2021 Percent Change by Gender
Data collected via Qualtrics Chart done by Team Equity & Cycling
Chart 4.24 shows the steady increase in female ridership from 2010-2021 at Harbor Drive, Uptown and Kearny Mesa experiencing the greatest. Inversely, ridership in the Southeastern San Diego (along Market St between 24th & 25th street) and Mira Mesa Corridor location decreased dramatically. According to the bike count observations chart, both the Southeastern San Diego location and the Mira Mesa location were on roads with no shoulders and no apparent bicycle facilities available. Looking at these disparities, we observed that the numbers in female ridership decreased due to the lack of available bike facilities around both locations and the existing street configuration that places higher priority on automobile circulation to the freeways versus bike and pedestrian circulation.
