In a 2019 Changing Lanes Study, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) adopted the goal of achieving a gender-equitable transportation system. The report focused on several neighborhoods across Los Angeles with a high proportion of BIPOC women, identifying the specific travel barriers they encounter and proposing strategies to address these challenges. Building on this initiative, LADOT staff hope to better understand the needs of unhoused women, who face unique transportation challenges and safety concerns while traveling and using public spaces.
