THE TOPIC
Racial equity, wealth building, public health and climate resilience goals are only possible through cross sectional engagement that includes city, state, and regional governments, community-based organizations, and private sector partners. Please join us for this jointly sponsored seminar and workshop to learn about models of community engagement for equitable transportation and housing development.
As a part of the TREC (Transportation Research and Education Center) Friday Transportation Seminar, Roberto Requejo, Program Director at Elevated Chicago, will discuss their community organizing and empowerment work to create equitable transit oriented development (eTOD) in Chicago. Their efforts to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion into planning and infrastructure investments center on community-focused benefits such as access to affordable housing and increasing public health outcomes. Mr. Requejo will discuss how this effort focuses on people, place, and process to create more vibrant, prosperous, and resilient neighborhoods and how these lessons can inform community processes in other jurisdictions that include transportation development and beyond.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
Understand how a cross-sector coalition works to advance equitable development
Learn the difference between TOD and ETOD
Discover how ETOD looks like in different Chicago neighborhoods
Discuss how ETOD can solve --rather than trigger -- displacement and address post-pandemic challenges

Friday Transportation Seminar: Evaluation of a Transportation Incentive Program for Affordable Housing Residents
We are committed to making decisions that promote the success and well-being of our campus community. Until further notice, all live events hosted by TREC will be online only.
Friday Transportation Seminars at Portland State University have been a tradition since 2000. You can join us online at 11:30 AM.

THE TOPIC
This seminar presents the results from the Transportation Wallet for Residents of Affordable Housing (TWRAH) pilot program launched by the City of Portland’s Bureau of Transportation (PBOT). The program provided a set of transportation incentives for low-income participants including a $308 pre-paid visa card which could be applied to public transit or other transportation services, a free bike share membership, and access to discounted rates on several services. The researchers conducted a survey with the program’s participants to understand how they used the Transportation Wallet and how the program helped them use different modes to get around. The main findings include:
The financial support of this program encouraged some participants to use new mobility services (including Uber/Lyft, bike share, and e-scooter) that they had never used before;
The program increased access for participants, helping them make more trips and, for some, get to places they otherwise could not have gone; and,
Transportation Fairs, where participants could learn about services and talk to providers, promoted both mode sign-up and mode usage, particularly for new mobility and a reduced fare transit program.
This presentation will provide insights into the implementation and effectiveness of a transportation financial incentive program for low-income populations.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
Understand background and the elements of the Transportation Wallet for Residents of Affordable Housing (TWRAH) pilot program;
Learn how the program was implemented and how the residents used the Wallet;
Understand how a program like the Wallet could be implemented to provide incentives and financial benefits to low-income populations thru a transportation demand management program.
