Identifying and Minimizing Illinois’ Transit Deserts and Gray Areas

This project will examine the availability of effective transit services in time and space throughout Illinois, focusing on where demand currently exceeds capacity. Researchers will examine causes of unmet transit demands as well as focus on state-level solutions. Effectively understanding transit desert or grey areas can help Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to address unmet demands as well as help to provide actionable recommendations to solve the issue.
