Demographics Of Transit Zones
Delaware Valley study examines area within half-mile of transit stations in system serving more than 1 million riders a day
The December 2008 report by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission analyzing transit-served areas in the Delaware Valley has been added to the Best Practices section. The report analyzes areas within a half-mile of rail transit stops. The majority of the data in this report comes from Reconnecting America and the Center for Transit-Oriented Development.
Further analyzing the transit-accessible population, the report notes, allows a clearer picture of where new routes may be appropriate, how to better achieve environmental justice goals, and how to plan for new centers of employment and transit-oriented development.
