Project Transit Sustainability and Social Justice Research Project The Transit Gaps Research Project aims to identify gaps in late-night transit services in Iowa City by conducting transportation surveys targeting underrepresented BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and low-income workers in Iowa City. Our previous research in 2015 found gaps in public transit services in the early morning, late night, and weekend service.
