SCC-CIVIC-PG Track A: Human-centered, integrated mobility for disadvantaged communities in the San Diego region

交通便利程度通过塑造就业、教育、住房、服务和娱乐机会，对一个地区居民的生活质量产生重大影响。不幸的是，多年来以汽车为导向的交通政策和投资决定，使许多低收入和少数族裔社区获得社会和经济机会的机会有限。该项目将与圣地亚哥政府协会（SANDAG）、圣地亚哥地区交通规划机构和几个社区组织（cbo）合作，通过以人为本的设计（HCD）方法解决这些不足，在弱势社区整合移动服务。在第一阶段，该项目将与几个具有代表性的社区一起评估综合移动服务的挑战和可行性。项目团队将与cbo合作，在几个弱势社区部署HCD技术，如日常访谈、现实观察、问卷调查和可穿戴传感器。与SANDAG合作，项目团队将采用数据驱动的方法，包括分析这些社区的人口数据、交通服务数据、调查数据和交通建模。这个项目的主要研究目标是评估这些技术的综合情况及其在了解处境不利社区的需要和制订既具有响应性又可行的解决办法方面的效用。在第二阶段，该项目将在其中一个社区实施综合交通试点，以满足该社区的实际需求，解决该地区交通和可持续发展的长期战略计划，并可扩展到该地区的其他社区。项目团队预计，该试点将通过整合移动服务，例如拼车、社区电动汽车、微型交通、电动滑板车、电动自行车和汽车共享，展示就业、娱乐、购物、教育和公共交通的改善。该项目不仅旨在满足圣地亚哥社区的需求，还旨在向SANDAG的规划者提供所需的服务类型、激励措施和运营模式，以确保与社区需求保持一致，同时实施2021年区域计划的大胆愿景，即“五大举措”。这个项目是响应轨道A -公民创新挑战-社区和流动性与美国国家科学基金会和能源部合作。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

Access to transportation has a significant effect on the quality of life for a region’s residents by shaping access to jobs, education, housing, services, and recreational opportunities. Unfortunately, years of auto oriented transportation policies and investment decisions have left many low income and minority neighborhoods with limited access to social and economic opportunities. In partnership with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), San Diego’s regional transportation planning agency, and several Community Based Organizations (CBOs), this project will address these shortcomings with a Human Centered Design (HCD) approach to integrate mobility services in disadvantaged communities. In Stage 1, the project will assess the challenges and feasibility of an integrated mobility service with several representative communities. Working with CBOs, the project team will deploy HCD techniques such as day-in-a-life interviews, real-world observations, questionnaires and wearable sensors in several disadvantaged communities. Working with SANDAG, the project team will employ data-driven methodologies including the analysis demographic data, transportation services data, survey data and transportation modeling in these same communities. This project's primary research objective is to assess the integration of these techniques and their utility in understanding of the needs of disadvantaged communities and in formulating solutions that are both responsive and feasible. In Stage 2, the project will implement an integrated mobility pilot in one of these communities that is responsive to the real needs of the community, that addresses the long-term strategic plan for transportation and sustainability in the region, and can be expanded to other communities in the region. The project team anticipates that the pilot will demonstrate improved access to employment, recreation, shopping, education and public transit via the integration of mobility services including, for example, pooled ride-hailing, neighborhood electric vehicles, microtransit, e-scooters, e-bikes, and carshare. The project intends not only to address needs in particular San Diego communities, but also to inform SANDAG’s planners about the types of services, incentives, and operating models that are needed to ensure alignment with a community’s needs as they implement a bold vision of the 2021 Regional Plan known as the “5 Big Moves”.This project is in response to Track A – CIVIC Innovation Challenge - Communities and Mobility a collaboration with NSF and the Department of Energy.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.
