Project
Description
IMR is working with researchers at UC Davis and UCLA to
explore travel patterns of
California’s
diverse populations. This project will
provide Caltrans and other transportation agencies in the state with an
essential foundation for the design and targeted marketing of transportation
systems and services to enhance the mobility of
California’s diverse groups. Research on this project will include a
literature review on travel patterns and behaviors of diverse groups, census
data analysis, and focus groups and interviews targeting Mexican-immigrant
travel behaviors. The results of this
research will be compiled on a CD-ROM for state transportation agencies and
planners to use as a reference to improve transit options for immigrants in
California, and will be used as a building block for
further research aimed toward improving transportation services for
California’s diverse
populations.
