Abstract:

This report discusses how transportation policies can aggravate or alleviate social equity problems. Current transit systems ; (Detroit, Atlanta, Cleveland, Denver, and St. Louis) were studied with respect to their strategies and relative success in ; remediatiating social inequity as compared with Detroit’s transit systems. The five cities were studied with respect to the number of ; employment opportunities available within transit distance. Not surprisingly, Detroit Metro was shown to offer fewer opportunities ; than elsewhere. A recommendation was made for more effective basic bus service in Metro Detroit as a means of improving job ; equity for residents.
