Layer: Gaps in Public Transportation (ID: 18)

Parent Layer: Connect Priorities

Name: Gaps in Public Transportation

Display Field: Value

Type: Raster Layer

Geometry Type: null

Description: The Trust for Public Land’s Climate-Smart Cities Program is founded on the principle that to respond to climate change, cities must restore natural functions of the land by weaving green elements into the built environment. The Climate Smart Cities Program helps cities meet the challenges through the development of spatial data and decision support tools that translate the goals from a city’s strategic climate planning into priority sites for green infrastructure development. The Climate Smart Cities Program categorizes these strategies under the climate objectives of Connect, Cool, Absorb, and Protect. The rasters in the connect geodatabasehelp explore priority areas of the city for connecting and expanding walk-bike corridors. (Highest priority areas are in red). CT07 idenitifies areas in the city that are more than 10-minute walk from public transportation as well as those areas with significant number of people that lack access to frequent public transit.Access to reliable and affordable public transportation is essential to enhancing quality of life as well as reducing green house emissions for a city's population. This model prioritizes areas where city residents are more than a 10 minute walk from available public transportation as well as areas where there is a need for additional public transportation. Areas more than a 10 minute walk from public transportation stop were assigned a very high priority value (5). Areas within a 10 minute walk of public transit where the max wait time is more than 60 minutues and that have a significant number of people was assigned high priority value of (4). Areas within a 10 minute walk of public transit where the max wait time is more than 30 minutues and that have a significant number of people was assigned moderate priority value of (3).Service Areas were derived using network analyst. Areas of significant population were determined using ESRI's 2014 Estimated Demographics and u=includes Population per square mile. Significant population was condisered population >= 6153. Frequency of transit was derived using the Better Bus Buffer tools developed by ESRI (https://github.com/Esri/public-transit-tools/tree/master/better-bus-buffers).Data interpretation:5 = Very High Priority for Green Infrastructure4 = High Priority for Green Infrastructure 3 = Medium Priority for Green Infrastructure 0-2 = Low ValueValues 3, 4, and 5 should be used when assessing highest prioritization from the model.
