Summary: This article documents the declining socioeconomic status of American households without private vehicles and the financial burden that car ownership presents for low-income households. The study highlights the auto-orientation of America's built environment, which forces people to spend heavily on cars or risk being excluded from the economy. The research shows that vehicle access remains difficult for low-income households and vehicle operating costs are high and volatile. By examining carless households in New York City, the study finds that the fortunes of the carless did not decline in an environment that did not accommodate cars.
