ANALYSIS OF DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS AND TRAVEL PATTERNS: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE PORTLAND TRANSIT MARKET

Demographic changes affect the market for urban transportation in many ways. Identifying these changes and monitoring demographic trends can give the planner better insight into the future nature of the transit market. An inductive approach is used to examine some of the demographic variables most important to the transit market. Then the market segmentation that exists in the Portland standard metropolitan statistical area is identified.
