An Examination of Two Diverse Communities: Residents' Transportation Behaviors, Challenges, and Opportunities.
The Smart Cities Collaborative aims to mitigate transportation challenges and inequities with new approaches and technologies (e.g., ridesharing). Therefore, assessing community transportation needs is essential. The team explored the travel behaviors, challenges, and/or opportunities among low- and high-socioeconomic status (SES) communities. Using Community-Based Participatory Research principles, four focus groups were conducted to investigate residents' behaviors and experiences with transportation availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and adaptability. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, and verified before thematic and content data analysis. Participants with low SES (n = 11) discussed user-friendliness, uncleanliness, and bus accessibility challenges. Comparatively, the participants with high SES (n = 12) discussed traffic congestion and parking. Both communities had concerns about safety and limited bus services and routes. Alternatively, opportunities included a convenient fixed-route shuttle. All groups stated the bus fare was affordable unless multiple fares or rideshare were needed. Findings provide valuable insight when developing equitable transportation recommendations.
