Arapahoe County Low Income Transportation Gaps Analysis Team 6 Beret Odell Sam Starr Steffie Gould

Agenda Project Introduction Demography Field Audit Stakeholder Interviews Gaps Analysis Recommendations

Study Purpose Identify transportation gaps in Arapahoe County pertaining to the low-income population to help Denver Regional Mobility Access Council (DRMAC) and the Arapahoe County Local Coordinating Council (LCC) address transportation needs

Demographic Analysis Percentage of Low-Income Population

Childhood Poverty Arapahoe County has the highest rate of change in childhood poverty of all Colorado Counties

Field Audit Audit Route, RTD Bus Route 10

Findings

Stakeholder Interviews Diversity Assistance Programs Convenience

Gaps Analysis Trip Purpose Service Area Service Time Eligibility Type of Service Affordability

Recommendations Provide information in Spanish Increase seating Construct additional Lighting Offer discounted ValuPasses

Provide Information in Spanish Why this should happen: Inexpensive and effective No current Spanish interface on RTD and other websites Low-income correlation with Hispanic and other minority groups Half the population commutes out of county for work Increase public feedback and ridership HISPANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Increase Seating Why this should happen: Can be constructed through multiple phases, and would benefit all users Many medical services including the VA are in or bordering Arapahoe County This increases the use of Arapahoe County public transit of 65+ residing outside of the county 65+ may rely on public transit as they transition away from a personal vehicle Also may have fixed or restrictive incomes Frame: because we had inadequate seating, would be beneficial to EVERYBODY

Construct Additional Lighting Why this should happen: Many stops along Route 10 are not highly visible, and few have adequate lighting Many schools along Route 10 surveyed Most often using buses in the early morning and in the late evening for after school jobs or extracurricular activities Increase visibility of individuals waiting at a bus stop Reduce crime that is likely to occur in darker areas Schools Inadequate lighting Benefit children—morning and night

Offer Discounted ValuPasses Why this should happen: An annual RTD annual ValuPass is $1,936 This is roughly 10% of the annual salary of a single parent with one dependent living at the threshold of the Federal Poverty Line If this were offered to low-income individuals, it could reduce an extreme barrier, providing an real transit option If more low-income individuals could afford the ValuPass, it would increase ridership all around Little to no discounted public transportation fare programs for low-income
