The coronavirus pandemic precipitated an economic crisis disproportionately affecting renter households. Attempting to prevent a surge in evictions, policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels extended emergency protections to renters. The authors describe eviction filing patterns in 2020 and analyze the efficacy of eviction moratoria. New filings were reduced dramatically since the start of the pandemic. Between March 15 and December 31, 2020, across sites for which data are available, 65 percent fewer eviction cases were filed than would be expected in a typical year. Extrapolating nationwide, the authors estimate that at least 1.55 million fewer eviction cases were filed in 2020 than in a normal year. The pace at which cases were filed increased in late 2020, however, and the amount of back rent claimed grew considerably. Filing rates exceeded historical averages when protections lapsed. Black and female renters received a disproportionate share of eviction cases filed during the pandemic.
Summaries of these key decision points are as follows:• Initiate Data Collection/Analysis Plan: This plan entails strategic research objectives for initial and ongoing data collection, compilation, and analysis of automated mobility technologies as crucial to inform subsequent decision points. In the present era of rapid innovation, keeping apprised of the development of relevant policies and practices is crucial to enable the implementation of automation technologies. • Develop Protocols for Autonomous Application: As it is common for mobility technology advancements to outpace policies, the absence of policies ready to quickly act upon the emergence of new technologies will delay progress toward automated mobility goals. Proactively establishing policies in anticipation of emerging or anticipated technologies as being prepared and in place will facilitate pilot-scale deployments and enable long-term goals. • Actively Deploy Pilot-Scale Projects: Pilot projects are vital to better understand practical application of new technologies, and, through iteration of practice, will facilitate derivation of refined plans to inform eventual broader deployment. Pilot projects serve as foundational building blocks toward longer-term automated vehicle (AV) goals and will be instrumental in developing an AV-supportive comprehensive infrastructure plan. • AV-Supportive Comprehensive Infrastructure Plan: The initial decision points culminate toward a key decision point targeted for the 3-to 5-year time frame. It is important to revisit each of the decision points and related milestones/outcomes annually, so as to incorporate anticipated developments in technology as they emerge, as part of an iterative process. Recommended DFW Roadmap PathwaysSpecific topical pathways on the roadmap to automated mobility are identified in this report.They are informed by needs to accommodate mobility services from three perspectives: (1) traveler access, (2) employee mobility, and (3) service and freight access to DFW terminals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
