• Abstract:
  This report applies to Texas results from transit equity research done elsewhere in the U.S., principally by J. Pucher and S. Rock. Texas transit characteristics, ridership, and financing mechanisms, are used to develop an understanding of the equity implications of trends in the Texas transit industry. The equity outcome of transit finance and operations is empirically determined by the distribution of transit benefits and the distribution of transit financing burdens. Texas data on subsidies, benefits, and finances tend to reflect and coincide with the larger national description of transit.
