Flexible Mobility-as-a-Service to Improve Post-Pandemic Regional Sustainability
Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Primary Investigator: Joseph Ferreira
Research Track: Resource and Service Equity
Our project tests strategies for addressing the mobility challenges faced by transit-dependent individuals by providing affordable multi-modal mobility packages via a mobile app that can improve access to opportunity despite COVID-induced transit service disruptions. We also intend to examine how such mobility packages might increase transit use by being a competitive alternative to vehicle ownership and use for auto-dependent individuals and ‘choice’ transit riders.
