Co-Creating Context-Sensitive Mobility Strategies for Advancing the Social and Economic Goals of Low-Income Communities
Organization: E4TheFuture
Primary Investigator: Susan Buchan
Research Track: Resource and Service Equity
E4TheFuture and University of California Berkeley’s Transportation Sustainability Research Center are working with the Providence and Blackstone River Valley, Rhode Island communities to help address the spatial mismatch between low-to-moderate income (LMI) housing and jobs, understand how LMI households define mobility challenges, and identify strategies to overcome them. A major outcome of this project is creating a community-designed mobility hub and developing a replicable process that is adaptable to the characteristics and needs of future sites.
