Jaunt Rural Transit Needs Assessment

This study examines rural transit needs for Jaunt. The objective is to quantify the need for transit services in each of Jaunt’s partner jurisdictions. Jaunt provides transit in the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, and the counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson. Neighboring Goochland County is also included in the analysis. The study examines population and demographic data in the area. A description of current services and an analysis of existing ridership data are provided. Service gaps are estimated by identifying service targets, which were developed based on a peer analysis, and comparing current ridership to those ridership goals. Data are presented at the county level and a more detailed census tract level. Feedback from stakeholders provided additional evidence regarding the needs for transit improvements. Recommendations and cost estimates are provided.
