Abstract
Bicycle traffic is increasingly being considered in transportation policies and bikesharing systems have become an inseparable element of transportation systems in many cities. This paper discusses bikesharing systems and their accessibility. The paper presents the results of an accessibility evaluation of the planned bikesharing system in Jaworzno (Poland). The variants of system development were evaluated using Multiple Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA) and QGIS software. With these methods, various evaluation criteria were covered related to system accessibility, including for people in various age groups, concerning accessibility of traffic generators and system integration with public transportation. The analyses resulted in a ranking of variants of system development, from the best to the worst in terms of the reviewed criteria.
