June 2019
Jordan Downs is a 700-unit public housing site that is currently being redeveloped into a mixed-income urban village. Jordan Downs and the surrounding Watts neighborhood were awarded a $50 million implementation grant from the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) program that allocates California cap-and-trade funds to support projects for Disadvantaged Communities as classified under CalEnviroScreen 3.0. The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) is interested in leveraging leveraging TCC grant funding to explore transportation improvements in the area.
This study assesses how community members perceive issues of the built environment, and how these perceptions may influence their transportation mode choice.
