An article published in Social Indicators Research is the first to examine transportation insecurity alongside other forms of material hardship (i.e. food and housing insecurity, utility shutoffs). Findings show that transportation insecurity is among the most prevalent forms of hardship, that the demographic groups likely to experience it are also likely to experience other forms of hardship, that transportation insecurity and food insecurity are the hardships most likely to co-occur with other hardships, and that transportation insecurity is associated with physical and mental health at a similar magnitude as is food insecurity and having unmet medical needs.
