| 摘要： | CHARLOTTE, N.C. · To create equitable transit systems, understanding the location of key populations and the mobility needs of those populations is critical. Agencies with access to comprehensive data can plan for a seamless and equitable transit system that works best for as many as possible. One example of maximizing data is the CONNECT Beyond Regional Mobility Plan, led by the Centralina Regional Council, for the greater Charlotte region. The plan relies on transit propensity maps - using public data to determine where transit is most needed in the region. These interactive maps highlight various population concentrations and access to essential services. Insight gained from these maps helped identify key groups for deeper conversation regarding mobility needs. Correctly used, transit propensity maps are a powerful tool to help owners/ agencies inform the heart of equitable transit planning: Successful community outreach. Only by engaging and listening to various populations can agencies learn of their unique needs. Whatever the community's needs, a transit propensity map can help identify the location of who most needs service and inform community outreach and field-work strategies. |
