National Survey on Transport Poverty

Mobilizing Justice, a multidisciplinary research partnership based at the University of Toronto Scarborough, ran Canada’s first National Survey on Transport Poverty. It gathered more than 27,000 responses, including over 11,000 low-income households, across 41 census metropolitan areas and surrounding rural and suburban regions. Researchers could request the underlying microdata, but the broader public had no way to explore the findings.

Curbcut designed and built a full-stack public dashboard that turns the survey’s aggregated insights into something anyone can explore, compare across regions, and rank by population group and theme, with privacy-suppression rules built in to protect respondent confidentiality. Curbcut deployed the dashboard on the University of Toronto’s servers and maintains it.
