Neighborhood Mobility Audits

The Polk [FL] TPO has conducted a series of Neighborhood Mobility Audits for communities in traditionally underserved areas. Most of the 15 completed audits were conducted within the TPO’s Environmental Justice Planning Areas.

These mobility audits evaluate resident access to jobs and essential services within these communities and the larger county. Since low-income households are 2-3 times more likely to use public transportation or other alternative modes of transportation, the focus of the mobility audits is on non- motorized (bicycle and pedestrian) and transit access.
