UCLA's Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning and Associate Dean, Luskin School of Public Affairs Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris presenedt Sexual harassment in transit environments: A focus on university students on Friday Dec. 4, 2020 at 12 p.m. This study presents findings from a survey of university students in 18 cities, exploring their experiences with sexual harassment in transit environments, and how these differ by gender, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation. It finds that sexual harassment is a common occurrence, forcing precautionary behaviors. Nevertheless, reporting of harassment incidents is extremely low. Certain individual characteristics of students and environmental characteristics of transit settings influence the incidence of victimization and student perceptions of safety. The study discusses multi-pronged strategies to tackle harassment in transit environments that include research, design, and policy initiatives.
