• Abstract:
  Federal and state funding is largely distributed based upon federally defined geographic areas—urbanized ; areas or rural areas (non-urbanized areas). For urban transit districts, the funding is based upon ; characteristics of the entire urbanized area. However, the service area boundary for transit providers in ; urbanized areas often does not match the urbanized area boundary, leaving a portion of the urbanized area ; without a designated transit provider. The unserved area is referred to as an urban gap. This research ; estimates the magnitude and characteristics of urban gaps in all urbanized areas in Texas based upon both the ; 2000 Census and a projection of the 2010 Census. The research then presents case studies on a variety of ; approaches that are being used in Texas to fund and operate transit service to urban gap populations.
