Abstract:

How do transit agencies ensure public transportation justly and fairly serves California’s many diverse communities, especially those who are transportation disadvantaged? This report is meant to aid Caltrans and the state’s transit agencies in assessing transit service equity and assisting with the evaluation of potential solutions for past, existing, and future inequities. This report identifies and evaluates policies and practices associated with equity measurement in public transit from extant sources. By researching federal laws and regulations related to Title VI, metropolitan planning organization (MPO) planning and policy documents, and academic papers related to equity measurement, the research team evaluated extant information regarding current equity measurement. From this information, the study applies a series of possible metrics to a test case in Santa Cruz County, California and compares results to those generated by Title VI metric requirements. Using this comparison, the study evaluates the need for new metrics in transit equity analysis.
