Description
- Activities
- Task 1: existing conditions analysis this task will kick-off the project and include policy and program research for what relevant policies and programs related to zero-emission mobility existing within the city of hartford the greater hartford region and among other peer cities/agencies who have already piloted this approach (buffalo rochester cambridge etc). This will also include some preliminary data analysis and financial modeling to understand the economics of the future program and what sort of future government support / public-private partnership will be required to ensure the success of the program.task 2: community engagement directly engaging the community leveraging cultivated relationships with grassroots organizations and specifically by setting up an equity cabinet as one of the first phases/deliverables. During the initial phases the needs assessment will be designed by the equity cabinet and implemented by local community organizations with the input of residents. This assessment is a vital part of the project as IT will inform the needs design and structure of the transportation program. Local organizations will facilitate community conversations and residents will provide direct input and feedback on program needs. By creating opportunities for community-based dialogue residents and stakeholders will become more invested in and supportive of future efforts. By engaging neighborhoods in the program design we will be able to design new mobility services that specifically address: a) the last-mile problems of the existing system; and b) existing mobility desire lines that arent seen or evaluated by fixed routes. On-demand and shared-use programs will increase resident access reliability and mobility. Methods will include (but are not limited to) focus groups stakeholder interviews and other to-be-determined methods proposed and designed by the equity cabinet throughout the entirety of the project. All participants will be compensated for their participation. Task 3: qualitative and quantitative data analysis upon completion of task 1 and task 2 there will be a robust quantitative and qualitative data analysis and synthesis effort to combine the results from existing conditions and the community conversations. This analysis will be bolstered by methods utilized in regional public and educational institutions to amalgamate quality data into a report used by the equity cabinet to design the structure of the program.task 4: program design after completing the analysis the project partners will then focus on the design of a pilot program and development of an implementation plan. These recommendations will be CO-created with the community and local organizations and taken through a second phase of community conversations. Driven by community-based consensus stakeholders will pave the way for an implementation strategy that identifies and bridges transportation gaps while also considering future expansion. The governance model will include opportunities for community-controlled mobility solutions. The project aims to reflect our communitys shared vision for a hartford that is dramatically more sustainable equitable mobile prosperous locally-owned and vibrant.task 5: ghtd administration this task provides the financial and staff support from the greater hartford transit district to assist with the program management and administration.
