Evaluating Pittsburgh's Universal Basic Mobility Pilot Program

The city of Pittsburgh's Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) and Move PGH have asked Carnegie Mellon to evaluate the impact of their innovative Universal Basic Mobility project on the geographic and socioeconomic mobility of low-income Pittsburgh residents. Lee Branstetter will lead the evaluation effort, using smartphone apps to measure the impact on geographic mobility and an existing partnership with Allegheny County DHS to leverage the resources of the DHS data warehouse to measure the impact on socioeconomic mobility.
