This project, sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), led by UWM, aims to enhance transportation for Wisconsin’s 31% of non-drivers, including elderly, students, and low-income groups.The research aims to understand transportation behaviors, challenges, and opportunities among Wisconsin’s non-driving population. In response, a statewide survey will be conducted to analyze non-driver transportation behaviors and identify opportunities for enhancing the multimodal transportation system. This proactive initiative underscores WisDOT’s commitment to inclusivity and community engagement for non-drivers across Wisconsin. Based on the survey results, implementation plan will be developed to address geographic disparities, enhancing public transit and last-mile connectivity in rural and urban areas to improve accessibility for people with disabilities and promote transportation equity.
