Abstract: COVID-19’s effects on transportation to health care are likely to disproportionately impact certain groups, with important implications for health equity. To understand the transportation needs of different populations during the pandemic, this report reviewed the literature across seven health care needs that are overrepresented among people with transportation challenges and/or amenable to transportation interventions. This included: dialysis for end-stage kidney disease, prenatal care, cancer care, mental health care and substance use treatment, health care for people living with disabilities, health care for people with multiple chronic conditions, and preventive care.
