This study examined the equity implications of supercommuting in California, with a focus on the Los Angeles region (comprised of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties). We analyzed equity in terms of the housing and transportation expenditure burdens borne by super-commuters.
This project will inventory the types of affordable transportation options that could help patients overcome their transportation challenges, along with proposing a model for a resource fair where patients can find out more about their options and enroll on-site.
Extreme heat is the deadliest natural hazard in the U.S., yet many bus riders in Los Angeles County wait for transit without shelter from the sun. This project analyzes 10,000+ LA Metro bus stops to understand where shelters exist — and where they don’t. By mapping shelter distribution across temperatures, jurisdictions, and priority populations, we aim to establish a baseline to guide more transit infrastructure in the region.
