Animation: The Center for Total Health Capital Bikeshare station No. 353 is alive

The animation goes from midnight to midnight, showing peak times of usage.

With tremendous gratitude to Michael Schade (@mvs202), the our nation’s capital’s digital transportation storyteller, and leader of Transportation Techies (@TechiesDC)

The animation is based on released Capital Bikeshare (@Bikeshare) data for 2nd Quarter, 2015, which means there is only about 2 weeks of function included in this dataset, because our station was installed on June 18, 2015 (but who’s counting? 🙂 ).

The station is located next to the busiest in the system (Union Station) and since it’s been “discovered” it is experiencing more frequent empty docks:

These and other datasets show us that our city’s infrastructure is more alive than we think it is, and in this case, this infrastructure helps people be healthy.
