Decades of evidence suggests that car access provides significant advantages in the labor market. Yet for many, cars are financially out of reach. This project proposes to create a community-based ride-hail program to better connect communities with opportunities. The project team's community partner organization, Vehicles for Change (VFC), will subsidize vehicles to low-income, car-less individuals living in Baltimore. In return, recipients will provide a number of weekly rides to other car-less Baltimore residents to access employment and essential services. The program expands VFC’s existing vehicle subsidy program and connections within the community. This pilot will enable VFC to connect multiple people—rather than single households—to essential services for every car they distribute. If the project team can provide 50 cars for this pilot, the project can enable hundreds of residents to access jobs, healthcare, and educational opportunities. The project will evaluate the success of community ride-hail using original survey data of program drivers and riders, as well as a control group comprised of those on the waiting list to receive a vehicle from VFC. Measures of success would include employment and earnings data—among others—for drivers, riders, and wait-listed individuals. Program evaluation will significantly advance knowledge by assessing whether the effects of car access could be “multiplied” by linking subsidized car ownership to a low-cost ride-hail service for other car-less people.The goal of this project is to assess the viability of a community-based ride-hail program that connects low-income residents to jobs and other essential services. This project plans to evaluate the economic and non- economic benefits of this program for both drivers and riders. For drivers, the project team plans to employ a panel- survey to assess the short- and medium-term effects of participating in this program, and compare the results with a control group drawn from the community partners’ networks. The team will augment the panel surveys with interviews with drivers and surveys of riders to provide a robust understanding of both qualitative and quantifiable effects of a community ride-hail program to inform best practices for scalable and transferable programs.

Communities and Mobility: Offering Better Mobility Options to Solve the Spatial Mismatch Between Housing Affordability and Jobs through a collaboration between NSF and the Department of Energy Vehicle Transportation Office.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.

几十年的证据表明，汽车在劳动力市场上提供了显着的优势。然而，对许多人来说，汽车在经济上遥不可及。该项目建议创建一个基于社区的乘车项目，以更好地将社区与机会联系起来。该项目小组的社区合作伙伴组织，车辆变革（VFC），将补贴车辆的低收入，无车的个人生活在巴尔的摩。作为回报，受助人将提供一些每周乘坐其他无车巴尔的摩居民获得就业和基本服务。该计划扩大了VFC现有的车辆补贴计划和社区内的联系。该试点将使VFC能够为他们分发的每辆汽车连接多个人而不是单个家庭。如果项目团队能为这个试点项目提供50辆汽车，该项目就能让数百名居民获得工作、医疗和教育机会。 该项目将使用计划司机和乘客的原始调查数据以及由等待从VFC接收车辆的人组成的对照组来评估社区乘车的成功。衡量成功的标准包括司机、乘客和候补人员的就业和收入数据。项目评估将通过评估汽车使用的影响是否可以通过将补贴的汽车拥有量与其他无车人群的低成本乘车服务联系起来而“倍增”，从而大大推进知识。该项目的目标是评估以社区为基础的乘车项目的可行性，该项目将低收入居民与工作和其他基本服务联系起来。本项目计划评估这一方案对驾驶员和骑手的经济和非经济效益。对于驾驶员，项目小组计划采用小组调查来评估参与该方案的短期和中期影响，并将结果与从社区合作伙伴网络中抽取的对照组进行比较。该团队将通过对司机的采访和对乘客的调查来加强小组调查，以充分了解社区乘车计划的定性和定量影响，从而为可扩展和可转移的计划提供最佳实践。 该项目由CIVIC创新挑战计划Track A支持。社区和流动性：通过NSF和能源部车辆运输办公室之间的合作，提供更好的移动选择，以解决住房负担能力和就业之间的空间不匹配。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
