This brief draws on in-depth interviews with participants of the L.A. Mobility Wallet pilot, conducted both during and after the program. We asked about their travel behavior and financial stress, and reflections on how the Mobility Wallet affected their lives, such as connecting with friends and family or having new experiences. This longitudinal, qualitative approach provides the research team with a nuanced look into the pilot program.
