• Abstract:
  Changes in the population and land area of urbanized areas in Texas will play a significant role in ; determining the allocation of public transportation funds to service providers in Texas after Census 2010. ; The purpose of this research report is to review the impacts of the changes in urbanized area population and ; non-urbanized (rural) population and land area for 2010 on the current Texas Transit Funding Formula for ; allocation of Federal Section 5311 and state rural and urban funds. This collaborative effort between the ; Texas Transportation Institute and the Institute for Demographic and Socioeconomic Research at the ; University of Texas at San Antonio draws upon the complementary expertise of public transportation ; planners, demographers, and geographic information systems professionals of the two research ; organizations. The research project identifies areas with the potential to exceed 200,000 in population and ; those non-urbanized areas that have potential to become urbanized (over 50,000 people) in 2010. The ; implications of these changes will be examined relative to the current public transportation funding ; allocations. The research staff provides a comprehensive assessment of these changes for the state as a whole ; and for individual transit service providers.
