A long-standing spatial mismatch has received significant attention between predominantly African American neighborhoods in the central city of Milwaukee and a large suburban employment center 15 miles northwest. Conventional fixed-route bus services were implemented but determined to be inefficient, so they were discontinued. Thus, the labor force (including employed workers and unemployed workers who are actively looking for jobs) and employers continue to struggle with the spatial mismatch. By adopting a fundamentally different approach that is bottom-up—focusing on the core users and their respective needs, this CIVIC Planning Grant (PG) will develop two pilot programs of User-Centered Mobility Solutions (UCMS), which integrate new mobility technologies, including transport network companies (TNCs) and micro-transit (e.g., Via), to directly address mobility needs of two types of core users—the labor force and employers. If successful, this project will serve as a new user-centered model for other U.S. metropolitan areas with significant spatial mismatches.Initial PG activities will explore strategies that overcome communication and institutional barriers to formulate intra-region UCMS and to facilitate successful implementation. During this stage, the research team will connect with workforce development organizations and business organizations to recruit and engage core users, identify and address barriers, jointly select alternative mobility services with core users, and achieve commitment from core users to participate in the Stage 2 pilot programs. PG stage outcomes include the pilot program plan, public involvement plan, and evaluation framework. Stage 2 will implement the pilot programs and compare the effectiveness of the labor force-centered and the employer-centered mobility solutions at addressing the spatial mismatch problem. Successful implementation and evaluation of the pilot programs will help to determine (1) whether UCMS can solve spatial mismatch, and (2) whether a labor force-centered or employer-centered strategy works better.This project is in response to Track A – CIVIC Innovation Challenge - Communities and Mobility a collaboration with NSF and the Department of Energy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

长期存在的空间不匹配在密尔沃基市中心城市中主要是非裔美国人社区与西北15英里的大型郊区就业中心之间受到了极大的关注。实施了常规的固定公共巴士服务，但决心无效，因此停产。这是劳动力（包括积极寻找工作的员工工人和失业工人），员工继续在空间不匹配方面挣扎。通过采用一种自下而上的根本不同的方法（将核心用户及其各自需求置于核心用户及其各自需求上），这项公民计划赠款（PG）将制定两个以用户为中心的移动解决方案（UCMS）的试点计划，这些计划集成了新的移动技术，包括运输网络公司（TNC）（TNCS）和Micro-Transit（例如，通过劳动力），以解决两种类型的Mobility and Coresions，以及两种类型的雇员。如果成功的话，该项目将成为具有重要空间不匹配的其他美国大都市地区的新型模型。印度PG活动将探索战略，以克服沟通和机构障碍，以建立区域内UCMS并促进成功实施。在此阶段，研究团队将与劳动力发展组织和业务组织联系，以招募和吸引核心用户，识别和解决障碍，共同选择与核心用户的替代移动服务，并实现核心用户的承诺，以参与第2阶段的飞行员计划。 PG阶段成果包括试点计划计划，公共参与计划和评估框架。第2阶段将实施试点计划，并比较以劳动力为中心的有效性以及以员工为中心的移动解决方案，以解决空间不匹配问题。对试点计划的成功实施和评估将有助于确定（1）UCM是否可以解决空间不匹配，以及（2）以劳动力为中心或以员工为中心的策略是否更好地效果更好。该项目是为了追踪 - 公民创新挑战挑战 - 通过与NSF和能源部的合作，并反映了NSF的奖励，并以NSF的奖励来追踪 - 公民创新挑战和移动性。智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
