NCST Rural Mobility Research Featured in UTC Spotlight

Rural residents, particularly those who are low-income, face unique transportation challenges due to long travel distances, infrequent transit service, the high cost of car ownership, and limited access to app-based rideshare services that are common in more populated urban centers.

Check out the July edition of the US Department of Transportation’s UTC Spotlight Newsletter to learn how NCST researchers have worked with government and community partners to plan, launch, and evaluate an innovative transportation program for rural residents: a non-profit, electric carsharing service to provide affordable, clean mobility to communities in California’s San Joaquin Valley.

This Newsletter shares insight from the following NCST project: A Before and After Evaluation of Shared Mobility Projects in the San Joaquin Valley
