Mobility from home to areas of work, education, and essential services is a serious concern for families. It has been found that among households earning less than $25,000 per year, 47% were hindered from carrying out their normal activities due to a lack of available transportation. Areas with limited transportation infrastructure are often geographically co-located. This study delineates two primary objectives: identification and remediation. Centered on the case study of Pittsburgh, the project seeks to identify specific corridors that link neighborhoods with essential services such as work, schools, universities, grocery stores, hospitals, etc. Historical practices pertaining to asset management will be evaluated for these corridors.
