This project is intended to provide an analysis of equity in the provision of multimodal transportation services in California. A previous study by Mineta Transportation Institute looked at equity regarding transit services. This project will assess transportation equity from a multimodal viewpoint, looking at equity not only from the perspective of provision of transportation services, but also from the perspective of allocation of resources for transportation planning and data collection.
USDOT Priorities:
Alignment with RPA: Improving Mobility of People and Goods – Transit serves a critical mobility function for transit-dependent and choice (commuter) riders alike. However, transit often suffers in comparison to automobile travel in terms of financing, users, and resources. By identifying how transit compares to automobile travel in terms of equity, as well as how auto investments can have detrimental effects on transit performance and disadvantaged communities, this research will provide important information to transit operators, advocates, and multimodal transportation planners and policymakers to improve mobility overall.
Alignment with U.S. DOT Strategic Plan Goals – This research would serve the goals of
San Jose State University
There are several possible audiences for this study and the methods developed and the guidance generated will be targeted to at least one of the following end-users:
