A Before and After Evaluation of Shared Mobility Projects in the San Joaquin Valley

Research Product Type

Research Report

In rural areas, cost-effective transit service is challenging due to greater travel distances, lower population densities, and longer travel times than in cities. UC Davis partnered with the eight San Joaquin Valley Metropolitan Planning Organizations to identify and support development of three innovative mobility pilot concepts for the region.
