{"pk":3422,"title":"Travel Behavior of Mexican and Other Immigrant Groups in California","subtitle":null,"abstract":"California is the destination for over one-quarter of immigrants to the United States, and immigrants now make up over one-quarter of the state's population. To ensure that transportation systems and services adequately meet the needs of recent immigrants, planners need a firm understanding of the travel behavior of immigrant groups. This paper reports on key findings from a three-phased study:(1)analysisofdataoncommutetravelofCaliforniaimmigrants from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 Censuses; (2) focus groups with recent Mexican immigrants on their transportation experiences and needs in six California regions; and (3) interviews with community-based organizations in nine California regions on the transportation needs and wants of Mexican immigrants. These findings point to a long list of potential strategies for agencies and organizations to consider in efforts to more effectively meet the transportation needs of Mexican and other immigrants in California.","language":"en, es","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/64m4j009","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Susan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Handy","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Davis","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Evelyn","middle_name":"","last_name":"Blumenberg","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Moria","middle_name":"","last_name":"Donahue","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Kristin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lovejoy","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Davis","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Caroline","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rodier","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Susan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Shaheen","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Kimiko","middle_name":"","last_name":"Shiki","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Lily","middle_name":"","last_name":"Song","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-06-01T20:23:26Z","date_accepted":"2012-06-01T20:23:26Z","date_published":"2008-06-01T07:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3422/galley/2180/download/"}]}
