SCC-CIVIC-PG Track A: Undesigning the redline and reimagining mobility investments to equitably link jobs, affordable housing, and services

许多经历了数十年撤资和流离失所的城市社区缺乏密集、频繁和可靠的交通选择，尽管轻轨建设、共享乘车服务、微型交通方式以及支持需求响应型交通的技术有所增长。然而，显著的机动性改善可以节省居民的时间和金钱，并改善就业、教育、食品、医疗保健和其他必要目的地的获取。与此同时，交通的改善可能会导致重新开发，从而导致流离失所。为了推进包容性和机会丰富的城市重建而不发生流离失所，该项目设想了一个多部门和跨部门的过程，以设计、测试和制度化一个创新的社区参与方法，该方法在科罗拉多州丹佛市瓦尔弗德的一个以前的红线社区，导致社区大力采用一个由技术支持、社区设计的社区移动系统，该系统连接多种当地和地区交通方式，包括传统交通工具(公共汽车和铁路)、微型交通工具(例如需求响应班车)和微型模式(如自行车、电动滑板车等)。该项目的方法进一步发展了智能城市技术，以促进居民的健康、繁荣和福利，方法是设计和实施一个公平和自适应的以社区为导向的移动管理平台和支持性后端系统，其中包括公平、社区所有权、持续反馈、快速系统变化、微型移动企业家的低门槛参与和负担得起的用户订阅等政策。虽然有许多相互竞争的交通和移动应用程序，但据项目团队所知，没有一个应用程序能够适应所有潜在的模式、当地提供商以及提供持续反馈以通知快速系统响应的能力。这一方法还将测试公共机构和非营利组织与居民共同构建社区参与流程的流程，这些流程侧重于在不引发流离失所的情况下适合环境的移动解决方案。拟议的系统将升级和扩展区域交通区(RTD)现有的前端(例如，移动即系统(MAAS)平台)和后端技术，以提供负担得起的移动套餐订阅、针对需求响应型微移动的社区管理和所有权机会，以及为快速调整巴士和班车路线和时间表提供信息的用户反馈循环。该项目还将创建一个试点社区移动枢纽，以提高可见性、接入和各种模式之间的连通性；促进社区对话；提供流动性信息；并支持相关的创业活动，如社区自行车商店。参与计划建立在丹佛取消设计红线展览的基础上，该展览结合了文物、讲故事、照片和互动活动；以及该市使用PhotoVoice方法进行移动性规划。这些展品帮助公共官员和规划者通过居民的视角了解社区问题，从而允许更多的合作行动。该项目是对与NSF和能源部合作的跟踪A-公民创新挑战-社区和机动性的响应。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Many urban neighborhoods that have experienced decades of disinvestment and displacement lack dense, frequent, and reliable transportation options, despite the growth in light rail construction, shared ride services, micro-modes of transportation, and technologies that support demand responsive transit. Yet, significant mobility improvements could save residents time and money and improve access to employment, education, food, health care, and other necessary destinations. At the same time, transportation improvements could lead to redevelopment that causes displacement. To advance inclusive and opportunity-rich urban regeneration without displacement, this project envisions a multi-sector and intersectional process to design, test, and institutionalize an innovative community engagement method in a formerly Redlined neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, Valverde, that results in strong community adoption of a technology-supported, community-designed neighborhood mobility system that connects multiple local and regional transportation modes, including traditional transit (bus and rail), micro-transit (e.g. demand responsive shuttles), and micro-modes (e.g. bikes, e-scooters, etc.). This project's approach furthers the development of smart city technologies to promote resident health, prosperity, and welfare through the design and implementation of an equitable and adaptive community-oriented mobility management platform and supportive backend systems that incorporate policies for equity, community ownership, ongoing feedback, rapid system changes, low-barrier participation for micro mobility entrepreneurs, and affordable user subscriptions. While there are many competing transit and mobility apps, none to the project team's knowledge, accommodate all potential modes, local providers, and the ability for ongoing feedback that informs rapid system responses. This approach will also test processes for public institutions and nonprofits to co-construct community engagement processes with residents that are focused on contextually appropriate mobility solutions without triggering displacement. The proposed system would upgrade and expand the Regional Transit District’s (RTD) existing front-end (e.g., Mobility as a System (MaaS) platform) and back-end technologies to provide affordable subscriptions for mobility packages, community management and ownership opportunities for demand responsive micro-mobilities, and user feedback loops that inform rapid adjustments to bus and shuttle routes and schedules. This project will also create a pilot neighborhood mobility hub to enhance visibility, access, and connectivity among modes; foster community dialog; provide mobility information; and support related entrepreneurial activities, e.g., community bike shops. The engagement plan builds on the Denver Undesign the Redline exhibit, which combined artifacts, storytelling, photos, and interactive activities; and the City’s use of photovoice methods for mobility planning. These exhibits help public officials and planners to understand community issues through the eyes of residents, which allows for more collaborative action.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.
