The objective of this Smart and Connected Communities Planning Grant (SCC-PG) project is to explore the use of micromobility resources as an affordable and flexible micro-mobility solution to connect riders with employment and other life-essential needs. It envisions a dockless electric scooter sharing program that helps alleviate mobility inequality prevalent in distressed neighborhoods of Hartford, Connecticut. Key research questions are 1) how low-income riders have been served by existing resources and infrastructures; and 2) how these riders would respond to the new interactive, user-centered program. The team proposes conducting big mobility data analysis and engages both current and potential electric scooter riders, service providers, government policymakers, and other stakeholders to form a community-driven planning roundtable. The project outcomes are applicable to other emerging micromobility systems and similar municipalities at various scales and locations. Students from underrepresented groups are recruited and trained.This project reveals essential geospatial, infrastructural, socioeconomic, and policy factors to inform the design and distribution of micromobility resources. Through a case study in Hartford, Connecticut, the research team works with the service provider, civic partners, and rider community to gather their inputs on and co-design an equity-aware micromobility sharing program. The findings and techniques support the deployment of future micromobility systems in low-resourced or marginalized communities with mobility challenges.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.

这项智能和互联社区规划赠款（SCC-PG）项目的目的是探索使用微型运动资源作为负担得起且灵活的微型动力解决方案，以将骑手与就业和其他生活中的需求联系起来。它设想了一项无码头电动踏板车共享计划，该计划有助于减轻康涅狄格州哈特福德遇难社区中普遍存在的流动不平等。关键的研究问题是1）现有资源和基础设施为低收入骑手提供了如何为之服务； 2）这些骑手如何应对新的交互式，以用户为中心的程序。该团队提议进行大量的移动性数据分析，并参与当前和潜在的电动踏板车骑手，服务提供商，政府决策者和其他利益相关者，以形成以社区为导向的计划圆桌会议。该项目结果适用于其他尺度和位置的其他新兴微型企业系统和类似的市政当局。招募和培训来自代表性不足的群体的学生。该项目揭示了基本的地理空间，基础设施，社会经济和政策因素，以告知微型企业资源的设计和分布。通过在康涅狄格州哈特福德的一项案例研究，研究团队与服务​​提供商，公民合作伙伴和骑手社区合作，收集他们的投入并共同设计了股票感知的微型企业共享计划。这些发现和技术支持在低资源或边缘化的社区中的未来微型企业系统的部署，具有移动性挑战。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来支持的。
