Calculating the inequity
Infographic by Matthew Biddle and Front Porch
Infographic with an illustration of a man holding onto a bus rail. Calculating the inequity. Suffering a time penalty. People who rely on public transportation waste a lot of time getting to work. Average commute time of U.S. workers per year: White drivers with a private vehicle: 108 hours per year. Black transit riders: 225 hours per year. Latino transit riders: 208 hours per year. Asian American transit riders: 212 hours per year. Who's being served? 32% of transit riders were not satisfied with the region's public transit in the NFTA's latest survey. 33% of households do not own a vehicle in most census tracts on Buffalo's East and West Sides. 58% of jobs in Erie County are not accessible on public transit.
