Employer-provided commuter shuttles have become a prominent part of the San Francisco Bay Area's transportation network. The "elite tech shuttles" have grown in the past ten years, ferrying at least 7,000 employees between San Francisco and Silicon Valley daily. While the shuttles provide substantial environmental and congestion reduction benefits, they have also engendered community concerns.
For Betty Deakin's Transportation Policy & Planning class, my classmate and I researched the impacts of the shuttles on commute and residential location choice in San Francisco. The poster above illustrates key findings from our research. More to come.
