In recent years, public transit agencies have expressed an interest in finding ways to address inequities in the transportation system. Unlike the inclusion of a high-level health lens (which would simply support increased investment in public transportation, cycling, and walking infrastructure), addressing inequities requires a thorough understanding of social justice, local economics and job creation, health, and transportation. The purpose of this project is to consider a way to look at how well the public transportation system serves populations most in need. While it uses a measure of income to identify Census tracts of interest, it is recognized that equity impacts are felt across a variety of spectrums and a more fulsome measure may be required for future analyses. Therefore, this project does not provide any conclusive recommendations to changes to the public transportation system, but rather suggests a way to incorporate a measure of equity to public transportation evaluation.
