Transit Accessibility Improvement Tool (Raw Data)

Raw data associated with the NCTCOG Transit Accessibility Improvement Tool (TAIT). The TAIT identifies communities who face transportation disadvantages and may have greater potential need for public transit. This is done through identifying Census Block Groups with concentrations of residents who are below poverty, living with disabilities, or age 65 and over. This dataset also provides additional variables that identify: Additional populations with potential need for public transit Populations relevant to civil rights compliance Demographic data for the TAIT is based on American Community Survey 5-year estimates. The TAIT tool has been used to inform NCTCOG's Access North Texas publication that outlines current transit accessibility and is the regional public transportation coordination plan for the 16-county North Central Texas region.
