Houston Transit Equity & Frequency Study

Mapping METRO’s high-frequency network against population to find gaps in access to frequent transit.

  • ArcGIS Pro
  • GTFS
  • Transit
  • Equity
Map of Houston shaded by the percentage of each Census block group within a quarter-mile walk of a high-frequency METRO route.

This study maps the METRO high-frequency transit network using GTFS data to identify critical service corridors. By overlaying quarter-mile walk buffers onto block-group population data, it computes accessibility metrics and visualizes where service coverage gaps line up with socioeconomic disparities in access to frequent transit.

Highlights

  • Mapped the METRO high-frequency network from GTFS data to identify service corridors.
  • Computed accessibility by overlaying 0.25-mile walk buffers on block-group population.
  • Visualized coverage gaps to surface disparities in access to frequent transit.
