A REGIONAL TRANSIT PERSPECTIVE: PHASE 1. TRANSIT SERVICE AREA COMPARISON TO REGIONAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND TRAVEL CENTER PROFILE

This technical report reviews various aspects that are related to the public transportation systems in the OKI Region, an area encompassing nine counties in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. These various aspects include the identification of those areas served by public transportation (i.e. either served by a demand responsive system or within a quarter mile of a fixed bus route) and the identification of major travel generators (e.g. colleges and universities, major places of employment outside the CBD's, hospital complexes, major shopping areas, high school, and cultural centers). Also, in those areas not currently served, several factors which would indicate a need for public transportation are analyzed. These include population density, level of automobile ownership, and percentage of the population that are minority groups, elderly and/or low income and hence more likely to use public transit.
