• Description:
  Transit deserts are urban areas with poor transportation related infrastructure access. In these areas, transit demands usually exceed transit supplies. In this project we refined the concept of transit deserts further and introduce the new concept of transit oases and transit adequate areas. We then applied our methods to 52 US cities. We found that all cities have issues with transit deserts. Central Business Districts are almost all transit oases. The methods presented here can be applied to almost any city to quickly assess transportation supply and demand and determine which areas are potentially being underserved with regards to transportation.
