Ridehailing Service Equity in Normal and Rare Conditions
项目名称: Ridehailing Service Equity in Normal and Rare Conditions
摘要: The project team proposes to investigate the economic and equity impacts of ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft under normal and rare conditions, along with public policies that may enhance benefits and mitigate private and social costs and inequities. To do this, the team will (1) leverage historical data to econometrically estimate the causal impact of Uber and Lyft market entry on wages and transit ridership during normal circumstances and the effect of rare changes in local policy and COVID-19 disruptions on operations and the distribution of riders served; (2) characterize demographic and geographic patterns of drivers and passengers that use ride-hailing services in Pittsburgh, Chicago and Austin, as well as shifts in other transit modes; (3) develop a deep understanding of driver, rider, and other stakeholder perspectives on the impacts of ride-hailing services using interviews and surveys; and (4) use simulation and optimization models to identify economic and policy incentives that could encourage efficient and equitable outcomes. The project team's holistic, equity-focused investigation will span normal operations as well as responses to rare events ranging from managing peak demand periods (e.g.: at sporting events) to managing disasters (including COVID-19 and city evacuations).
