Community Based Ride-Hail Pilot: One Car, Multiple Opportunities
Organization: University of Oregon
Primary Investigator: Anne Brown
Research Track: Resource and Service Equity
Cars greatly expand access to employment and opportunities, yet car subsidy programs face limited capacity and run counter to transportation policies aimed at reducing driving. This pilot expands the scope of an existing car subsidy program by creating a Community Based Ride-hail program to multiply the effect of each subsidized car; instead of benefiting a single household, each car will connect multiple residents to jobs, healthcare, and educational opportunities.
