Abstract
ABSTRACT Shared mobility services, such as car-share and ride-hail programs, have become increasingly popular within the sharing economy. Shared mobility services could reduce transportation inequities among marginalized populations. However, research has yet to assess how those responsible for disseminating shared mobility services perceive these resources. To address this gap, researchers interviewed 28 community agency service providers and transportation experts. Four themes emerged about providers’ perceptions of shared mobility services. Overall, providers were unfamiliar with shared mobility services, which led to reluctance to recommend them. This study suggests that shared mobility services are under-utilized for increasing mobility among marginalized populations.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
