SCC-CIVIC-PG Track A - The Lily Pad Neighborhood Mobility Hub Planning and Feasibility Study

该项目旨在研究可行性，并为纽约市的Rockaways半岛建立一个基于弹性社区的移动枢纽制定概念计划。 移动枢纽提供单点连接，将不同的出行选择（步行、骑自行车、公交和共享移动）汇集在一起。它通过提供较低成本的交通选择，以及与高速交通和就业的桥梁连接，解决了经济适用房和就业之间长期存在的挑战。 流动中心还将通过建设抗灾能力，为弱势居民提供支持。在危机时期，该中心将转变和支持准备，响应和恢复;提供关键的紧急服务的关键连接。 Rockaways被选中是因为它的流动性，住房和社会公平问题。 它提供了一个理想的社区，用于评估流动性选项，以解决住房负担能力和就业之间的长期问题，因为它利用了纽约市住房管理局（NYCHA）对这个社区的长期承诺。 该项目的目标是：1）通过使用社区参与和数据收集，创建一个可行的移动计划，将社区，邻里，孤立/弱势群体与负担得起的住房，工作和关键服务联系起来，2）为实施移动解决方案试点计划制定功能计划和预算。 该项目直接解决了CIVIC创新挑战A轨道的挑战：社区和流动性：提供更好的流动性选择，以解决住房负担能力和就业之间的空间不匹配。 CIVIC是NSF、能源部车辆运输办公室和国土安全部科学技术局之间的合作项目。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。

The project is to study the feasibility and create a conceptual plan for a resilient neighborhood-based mobility hub in the Rockaways Peninsula, New York City. The mobility hub provides a single point of connectivity where different travel options: walking, biking, transit, and shared mobility – come together. It addresses the long standing challenges between location of affordable housing and jobs by providing lower cost transportation choices, as well as bridging connections to high-speed transit and jobs. The mobility hub would also provide support for vulnerable residents by building resilient capacity to disasters. In times of crisis, the Hub would transform and support preparation, response, and recovery; providing key connections to critical emergency services. The Rockaways was selected because of its mobility, housing, and social equity issues. It provides an ideal community for evaluating mobility options to solve long standing issues between housing affordability and jobs as it leverages New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)’s long term commitment to this community. The goals of this project are 1) through the use of community engagement and data gathering, create a feasible mobility program to connect the community, neighborhoods, isolated / vulnerable populations with affordable housing, jobs and critical services, 2) establish a functional plan and budget for implementing the mobility solutions pilot program. The project directly addresses challenges of the CIVIC Innovation Challenge Track A: Communities and Mobility: Offering Better Mobility Options to Solve the Spatial Mismatch Between Housing Affordability and Jobs. CIVIC is a collaboration between the NSF, the Vehicle Transportation Office of the Department of Energy, and the Science and Technology Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security.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.
