Abstract

Existing and emergent microtransit and micromobility solutions promise to improve public transit for policy sensitive receptors and people in critical occupations and to create more financially sustainable transit. These multimodal solutions are examined for specific demographic segments. The study is based on an analysis of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), serving metropolitan San Jose, California, USA.
