  • Transportation and Quality-of-Life Effects of Los Angeles’s Mobility Wallet Program

    Open Accesstamika l butler, T D Butler et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Planning…2026

    Problem, research strategy, and findings Transportation agencies have historically focused on public transit as the solution to the mobility barriers facing low-income travelers. Transit is an essential service for those who do not own automobiles, but studies show it often fails to meet the travel needs of the poor. The Los Angeles (CA) Mobility Wallet Pilot Program is a novel approach to addressing this issue. The program provided low-income re…

  • Transportation Challenges of Low-Income Households with Children

    Open Accesstamika l butler, T D Butler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2026References: 4

    Low-income households commonly lack access to quality and affordable transportation options, impeding their access to opportunities. Low-income households with children face additional challenges. We draw on data from thirty-nine in-depth interviews to examine the effect of children on the travel behavior and experience of low-income adults. We find that low-income households with children experience increased financial and temporal burdens relat…

Without child care—or without adequate access to child care—parents and household caregivers are unable to work or conduct other critical activities, which can adversely affect their outcomes. In the U.S., child care supply has long fallen short of demand, with variations across neighborhoods that differ by income, race, and ethnicity. Yet there is relatively little research on child care access, use, and t…

  • Housing affordability and commute distance

    Open AccessEvelyn A Blumenberg, Madeline WanderARTICLEUrban Geography2022Cited by: 8References: 2

    The growing affordable housing crisis in high-cost metropolitan areas may force households to seek lower cost housing in the outer reaches of metropolitan areas contributing to the recent increase in commute distance. To explore this assertion, we test the relationship between the availability of affordable housing relative to jobs and commute distance in two diverse metropolitan statistical areas in Southern California: Los Angeles-Orange (highe…

  • The Haves, the Have-Nots, and the Health of Everyone

    Lara Cushing, Rachel Morello‐frosch et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Public Health2015

    A growing body of literature suggests that more unequal societies have more polluted and degraded environments, perhaps helping explain why more unequal societies are often less healthy. We summarize the mechanisms by which inequality can lead to environmental degradation and their relevance for public health. We review the evidence of a relationship between environmental quality and social inequality along the axes of income, wealth, political p…
