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.
