Economic Disparities Questions
Economic disparities can significantly affect access to transportation. Individuals with lower incomes may struggle to afford private vehicles or the associated costs of owning and maintaining a car, such as fuel, insurance, and repairs. This can limit their mobility and access to job opportunities, education, healthcare, and other essential services. Additionally, public transportation options may be limited or inadequate in low-income areas, making it difficult for individuals to commute to work or access necessary amenities. As a result, economic disparities can create transportation barriers, further exacerbating inequality and limiting social and economic mobility.
