Transporte y movilidad
Importancia
Transporte que brinda a todos opciones de movilidad seguras, eficientes, asequibles, convenientes y confiables, que incluyen la transporte público, posibilidad de caminar, compartir el automóvil y andar en bicicleta.
El objetivo del transporte es la movilidad que conecta a las personas con las oportunidades. Ya sea para ir a la escuela, trabajar o divertirse, la capacidad de hacerlo de manera segura y eficiente en Washington es fundamental para crear un entorno en el que las personas prosperen.
The goal of public transportation is to connect people with opportunities such as work and school. The reliance on this service is particularly salient for those whose only means of mobility is public transit. Capturing the rate of transit dependency for people of color and those who are low income compared to more affluent, non-minority riders is important for promoting equitable service delivery in transportation.
The distance people travel to access transit measures convenience and overall accessibility. Accessing transit is an essential measure because if people cannot get to the bus stop, then issues of crowding and reliability are inconsequential.

Bus crowding and lateness limit people’s ability to use Public Transportation conveniently and reliably. Highlighting the need to decrease bus crowding and improve schedule reliability is important because it reveals areas where resource allocation can improve equity in service delivery.
Bus timeliness is important because it is a key element of service reliability for customers. Reliable and convenient service is particularly important when serving residents who utilize public transit for all or most of their transportation needs. Examining service reliability across minority and low-income routes provides an equity checkpoint for transit delivery service.
