Promoting Commute Equity in Maryland: A Machine Learning-Based Model Development Proposal
Unequal mobility and accessibility have been a key constraint in accessing jobs, education and healthcare and other opportunities across the nation. This is aggravated by differences in income, transport infrastructure, transit and indeed all modes, vehicle availability, class of workers and other variables which individually or collectively contribute to the commute inequity. Evaluating these can be challenging because there are types of equity and impacts to consider including horizontal and vertical commute equities and various ways to measure them. Horizontal equity assumes that people with similar needs and abilities should be treated equally; vertical equity assumes that disadvantaged groups should receive a greater share of resources. Through the utilization of cutting-edge machine learning techniques and conducting a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing commute equity, this project aims to empower Maryland policymakers with an effective decision-making framework.
