Project Details

The Community Resource Project Rideshare Initiative's grant term ran from November 2020 to August 2021. In addition to transportation access data analysis, the project implemented an online, map-based survey distributed by high school students to family and friends. Community engagement included driver-passenger interviews where select participants were given a real-life experience of rideshare and were interviewed on their transportation needs and asked to provide feedback on a proposed rideshare program. Virtual reality focus groups were also conducted to give a virtual experience of the rideshare program and gather input on operation and design.

Community Details

The community is located in Sacramento County’s unincorporated areas and bordered by Fruitridge Road in the north and Florin Road in the south. It also has State Route 99 running directly through it and includes portions of four census tracts. Approximately 18,000 people reside in the project area, with roughly 19.5% being children under 10 and 9% are older adults over 65. The population is also predominantly Hispanic or Latino. Based on BeHealthy Sacramento, the median household income of our proposed service area ranges from approximately $32,000-$37,000 compared to the median household income of $64,000 for Sacramento County. This further indicates the high level of unemployment and underemployment.
