摘要：	This paper explores the impact of transportation technologies on the social and economic well-being of central city residents and disadvantaged populations. We demonstrate that the impacts of new projects on the earnings, wealth, health, education, and cultural amenities of disadvantaged residents can be measured. and that transportation project development, finance, and operations can be undertaken in a distribution-conscious way. To estimate one fairly broad impact of IVHS transport policy, we use census data for the three case study Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs): Houston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Portland, OR. To assess potential impacts on disadvantaged workers of IVHS projects, we examine racial and income differences in travel time to work. Controlling for demographic characteristics, we estimate the relationship between commute time and income and use measures of potential time savings from IVHS projects to simulate their impact on incomes and inequality.
