Research shows that a lack of transportation access is a serious barrier that puts people’s health at risk. Data from the CDC (Ng et al., 2024) indicates that roughly 15 million adults struggle to find reliable transportation for daily needs such as getting to work or the grocery store. Health is impacted by how easily we can move through our neighborhoods. Since mobility options vary across different regions and neighborhoods, benefits and harms are not evenly distributed. The legacy of underinvestment and disinvestment has left many parts of the state without safe, accessible, and equitable travel routes, including options for walking, biking, and accessing public transit, leaving those without access to a car at a major disadvantage.
