Abstract:

Texas’ largest cities, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Austin form a triangle in the state’s interior. Although cities are known for poverty pockets, many low income residents are not concentrated in central cities. Travel for this population is predominantly by private vehicle and is more expensive than for urban residents with access to public transportation. Transportation project decision making requires a presentation of need showing deficiencies in the existing transportation network. The challenge is in quantifying the rural travel needs in order to be competitive for limited transportation funds when measured against solving congestion and safety problems in cities. This work presents a framework enabling non-urban areas to more easily define need for transit funding.
