Final Report Sept. 2017- June 2024
Description:

Public transit facilities provide access to work, healthy food, medical care, education, recreation, and social interactions; however, this access may not be shared equitably across space or demographic groups. When equity does not appear to exist, community leaders may perceive a misalignment between transportation priorities and community needs. This study adopts a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach to provide a bottom-up strategy to identify the transportation needs of transportation-disadvantaged populations. The study uses these needs to develop performance measures that evaluate a transit network’s access to opportunities as part of a methodological framework for identifying potential transportation system gaps for environmental justice (EJ) populations. The methodology defines access needs for subsets of the EJ population to provide additional guidance on prioritizing first and last mile (FLM) access needs.
