Planning for An Equitable and Sustainable Future
The ongoing technology revolution changes our ways of living, working, traveling, and communicating and redefines our society. To inform planning and policymaking and promote equality and sustainability in our society, I have dedicated my research career to investigating these changes and understand their social, economic, and environmental impact. My doctoral study and recent research projects have examined people’s attitudes and behavioral responses to on-demand ridesourcing and autonomous vehicles, occupational mobility and job displacement related to autonomous vehicles, the mobility and accessibility of those using ridesourcing services, the impact of ridesourcing regulations, the influence of sea level rises on infrastructure and job access, and transportation barriers for vulnerable populations such as single parents, women, racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, and those who may suffer from social exclusion.
