Abstract
Access to safe, affordable, and reliable private vehicle transportation in Los Angeles is not equitably distributed. Low-income households and households of color often have private vehicle access rates far lower than citywide averages. This aligns with national trends where these types of households have also been shown to spend a much higher percentage of their incomes on transportation, nearly 30% of income on average. This inequity has major implications on quality of life, and also limits access to economic opportunities.
