This report was developed for Focus: HOPE to inform its vision for mobility options in HOPE Village. Although work has been done in HOPE Village to explore traditional mobility options such as public transportation, bicycling, and walking, little is known about whether there is a need for shared-use mobility services, such as ridesharing with Uber and carsharing with Zipcar; and what barriers HOPE Village residents face when accessing shared-use mobility services. To determine these needs and barriers the team used existing descriptive data and qualitative data we generated by facilitating focus groups with HOPE Village residents. This report aims to Provide background on mobility innovation in Detroit, identify needs and barriers communities face when accessing shared-use mobility services, and inform the continuing shared-use mobility work with HOPE Village and other Detroit communities.
