Abstract:

Recent demographic trends suggest an increasing suburbanization of poor populations. Given that poor households are often unable to afford increasing housing prices in many urban areas they are increasingly moving to the suburbs. At the same time, suburbs often do not support the public transit needs of poor populations and access to jobs often with increasing commute time. Insufficient transit can also exacerbate recovery times after extreme weather events for vulnerable populations. Three areas within New York State with transit facilities and areas of poverty were evaluated with respect to the proximity of transit (distance to bus stops), use of transit, and commuting time. Some of the results indicated that certain poor populations in low density areas use transit less and have longer commutes. Historic and projected weather extremes and climate changes could also pose substantial threats to transportation and its users, particularly the poor.
