The Effect of COVID-19 on Mobility and Equity: A Case Study on Transit Users in Baltimore, Maryland
项目名称: The Effect of COVID-19 on Mobility and Equity: A Case Study on Transit Users in Baltimore, Maryland
摘要: This research investigates the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transit riders and operators in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. The research team will send a survey questionnaire to transit riders and a survey to transit operators to investigate safety perceptions and adjustments made during the pandemic. Using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) schedule data and agency ridership data before and during the COVID-19 outbreak, the team will investigate schedule adjustments made by the Maryland Transit Administration and compare Baltimore ridership reduction during the pandemic with some other cities, such as Washington, D.C. The research aims to identify the issues and challenges that need to be addressed for a new understanding of the role of transit during and post the COVID-19 pandemic.
