This book brings together reports of original empirical studies
which explore the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on urban
mobility and transportation and the associated policy responses.
Focusing on the California region, the book draws on
this local experience to formulate general lessons for other
regions and metropolitan areas. The book examines how the
COVID-19 pandemic has had different impacts on vulnerable
populations in cities. It explores the pandemic's impacts on the
transportation industry, in particular public transit, but also on
other industries and economic interests that rely on
transportation, such as freight trucking, retail and food
industries, and the gig-economy. It investigates the effect of the
viral outbreak on automobile traffic and associated air quality and
traffic safety, as well as on alternative forms of work, shopping,
and travel which have developed to accommodate the conditions it
has forced on society. With quantitative data supported with
illustrations and graphs, transportation professionals,
policymakers and students can use this book to learn
about policies and strategies that may instigate positive change in
urban transport in the post-pandemic period.Â
