Driven to Spend is a joint project of the Surface Transportation Policy Project and the Center for Neighborhood Technology.

Data analysis was conducted by Michelle Garland, Reid Ewing, Ryan Tracey-Mooney, Peter Haas, Scott Bernstein, and Jonathon Kass, with additional assistance from Bob Diogo, Marion Trail, Danny Knee, and Rachel Kennedy.
