The average household in the US spends almost
. . . 20% of its total income on transportation expenses.
Low-income households spend, as high as
. . . 30%, according to a survey conducted by
. . . the Center of Neighborhood Technology (CNT) of
. . . 28 metropolitan areas across the country.

As cities have grown outwards, and j
. . . obs have moved away from urban cores,
. . . many low-income and minority communities
. . . are inadequately served by affordable, and
. . . efficient transportation options.

With personal vehicles serving as the primary mode of transport, expenditures for:
. . . . . . vehicle,
. . . . . . fuel,
. . . . . . insurance, and
. . . . . . maintenance, for these households can be very large, and very unpredictable.
