This project will lead to a novel understanding of effective design strategies for shared mobility systems for underserved rural and urban communities. Due to advances in networked information systems and ubiquitous connectivity, use of shared mobility systems is increasingly common. Underserved communities typically have the greatest needs for low-cost and high-quality shared transportation services. Yet, these communities experience financial, technical, skill-based and social barriers to their use. The study will result in a shared mobility system that leverages community strengths, addresses potential obstacles to use, appeals to community members, and uses a service model that is sustainable after the grant period. Furthermore, the study will advance the design of timebanking systems by accounting for the unique properties of transportation as a service and of rural settings. This work could lead to a broader set of participants in timebanks, and an expansion of the timebanking model to include new approaches involving nonprofit and healthcare organizations. Results can also inform policy efforts to promote transportation models that are equitable and inclusive for residents of underserved communities. This project involves collaborations among two academic universities and 14 representatives of non-profit organizations in two geographic areas, and it has three primary aims. Aim 1 is to assess transportation needs and barriers and to generate participatory design ideas for a shared mobility system using the timebanking concept. Sessions will focus on: trust, reciprocity, design for skill development and access for people with limited computer skills and Internet access. Patients at partnering healthcare agencies and potential drivers will be interviewed, and participatory design sessions will be conducted with these groups and third-party intermediaries. Aim 2 is to develop and implement a shared mobility system for healthcare transportation; new features based on Aim 1 will be integrated into an existing timebank platform. This aim will involve a pre-pilot field study. Aim 3 is evaluation of the feasibility and preliminary impact of the system on the primary outcome of missed appointments at healthcare organizations. This will involve a four-month pilot study using an interrupted time series quasi-experimental design. Analyses will leverage electronic health record data, timebank platform server log data, user surveys, and observation at healthcare organizations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将为服务不足的农村和城市社区的共享出行系统有效的设计策略提供新的理解。 由于网络信息系统的进步和无处不在的连接性，共享移动系统的使用越来越普遍。服务不足的社区通常对低成本和高质量的共享交通服务有最大的需求。然而，这些社区经历了财务，技术，基于技能和社会障碍的使用。该研究将导致一个共同的出行系统，该系统利用社区的优势，解决使用的潜在障碍，呼吁社区成员，并使用赠款期后可持续的服务模型。 此外，这项研究将通过考虑运输作为服务和农村环境的独特特性来推动时间库系统的设计。这项工作可能会导致时间库中的更多参与者，并扩展时间班克模型，包括涉及非营利组织和医疗保健组织的新方法。 结果还可以为促进对服务不足社区的居民提供公平且包容的运输模式的政策工作。该项目涉及两个学术大学和14位非营利组织代表之间的合作，并具有三个主要目标。 目的1是评估运输需求和障碍，并使用时间班卡概念为共享的移动系统生成参与式设计思想。会议将重点关注：信任，互惠，针对计算机技能和互联网访问有限的人的技能开发设计以及访问权限。将采访合作医疗机构和潜在驱动因素的患者，并将与这些团体和第三方中介进行参与式设计课程。目标2是开发和实施共享的医疗保健运输系统；基于AIM 1的新功能将集成到现有的时间表平台中。这个目标将涉及小便前研究。 AIM 3是对系统对医疗机构错过任命的主要结果的可行性和初步影响的评估。这将涉及使用中断的时间序列实验设计的四个月试点研究。分析将利用电子健康记录数据，TimeBank平台服务器日志数据，用户调查和医疗保健组织的观察。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估评估来获得支持的。
