This project presents SMILIES (Shared MicromobIlity for affordabLe-accessIblE houSing): a community-engaged pilot project to improve the accessibility to jobs and essential activities for affordable housing communities in small- and mid-sized cities and rural areas by leveraging the explosive growth of shared micromobility (SMM) services. Affordable-accessible housing for working families is increasingly scarce in the U.S., in particular for small- and mid-sized cities and rural areas. As many small- and mid-sized cities offer only limited public transportation options, low-income residents living in those areas may struggle to access jobs, and critical goods and services. The SMILIES project will deploy SMMs in a mid-sized city to establish the business, operating, and sociodemographic conditions under which SMM can improve accessibility to jobs and essential activities (e.g., schools, shopping, recreation, and health care) for affordable housing communities. Defining such conditions will facilitate the development and evaluation of new, highly effective and cost-effective policies and strategies that will help cities and planning agencies leverage SMM while ensuring equitable distribution of these services.The overall objective of this project is to determine the degree of impact that SMM services can have on accessibility to jobs and essential activities, household transportation costs, and energy consumption for residents of affordable housing communities in small- and mid-sized cities, and rural areas. This objective will be accomplished by developing a community-engaged research-centered pilot project in the City of Fort Smith, Arkansas. The specific objective of this planning grant proposal is to strengthen collaborations with relevant stakeholders, solidify academic and civic team members’ roles, and refine the vision and plan for executing this research-centered pilot project. This project is transformative as it will leverage community engagement (residents, decision makers, operators) to first define acceptable conditions for SMM and then conduct real-world pilot deployments of SMM under the community-defined conditions.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.

该项目介绍了SMILIES（可负担得起的可接近住房的共享微型企业）：一个社区参与的试点项目，可通过利用共享微型行为（SMM）服务的爆炸性增长来改善中小型城市和中小型城市中负担得起的住房社区的基本活动和基本活动。在美国，负担得起的工作家庭的住房越来越稀缺，特别是对于中小型城市和农村地区。由于许多中小型城市仅提供有限的公共交通选择，因此生活在这些地区的低收入居民可能难以找到工作以及关键的商品和服务。 Smilies项目将在中型城市部署SMM，以建立业务，经营和社会人口统计学条件，在这些条件下，SMM可以改善对工作和基本活动的可​​访问性（例如学校，学校，购物，购物，娱乐和医疗保健）来负担得起的定义此类条件，将支持新的，高度和成本效益的政治和策略，以支持这些条件的开发和评估，以确定整体的范围，以确定这些条件的整体范围，并将其范围置于这些状态，以实现这些状况的范围。该项目旨在确定SMM服务对工作和基本活动，家庭运输成本以及中小型住房社区居民以及中小型城市以及粗糙地区的居民的影响程度。这一目标将通过在阿肯色州史密斯堡市开发以社区参与的以研究为中心的试点项目来实现。该计划赠款建议的具体目标是加强与相关利益相关者的合作，巩固学术和公民团队成员的角色，并完善执行以研究为中心的试点项目的愿景和计划。 leverage community engagement (residents, decision makers, operators) to first define acceptable conditions for SMM and then conduct real-world pilot deployments of SMM under the community-defined conditions.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和更广泛的影响审查标准。
