Project Summary
This work seeks to understand what transportation access intervention models designed in collaboration with the community can improve people’s life outcomes. Historically, transportation plans and programs have not met the needs of disadvantaged populations. Newer technological advances in transportation — ride-hailing and micro-mobility — have similarly failed to provide increased access to high-need communities partially due to not being scoped and designed in collaboration with the community. This project aims to advance research towards the research objectives through building relationships with community-based organizations and doing research in partnership to help solve real-world problems.
