Abstract:Suburban development is occurring near urban areas across America. Often these communities are
separated by large masses of land with no linkage to the urban core. Referred to as urban sprawl, this type
of development causes a challenge for transportation planners in providing adequate public transportation
services to suburban communities. This research applied a transit needs index to assess whether there
might be demand for public transportation options between selected Houston suburban counties and the
urban core. The research found that several neighborhoods within three selected suburban counties
received a high rating on the index and are good candidates for public transportation.
