About this Website

This website was developed to communicate insights from Universal Basic Mobility (UBM) pilot programs. UBM pilots have been rapidly proliferating and this website aims to help bring together and share evaluation research and best practices to inform future programs. The website inventories past and ongoing UBM pilots. It also showcases four California pilots evaluated by UC Davis researchers. Best practices for UBM program design are highlighted, drawing on insights from past programs. This website is hosted by UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS-Davis).
