2 Activity 2: Transit Ridership Effects 3,, Do mixed-income communities matter for transit ridership? 25,, Ridership is a big deal for me. - Kevin Desmond, TransLink CEO 2,, 15,, 1,, 5,, - Source: TransLink

3 Activity 2: Data 211 National Household Survey (Statistics Canada): Weekday journey to work only Includes tenure Sampling: 1 in 3 households 3

4 Activity 2: Early Insights 1. Transit usage rates for workers living in effective transit-oriented locations are +3X higher than for workers elsewhere. 2. Housing tenure and renter income are robust indicators of transit usage. 3. Mixed-income/tenure housing is key to maximizing transit ridership in transit-oriented communities. 4

5 Activity 2: Early Insights 1. Transit usage rates for workers living in effective transit-oriented locations are +3X higher than for workers elsewhere. 2. Housing tenure and renter income are robust indicators of transit usage. 3. Mixed-income/tenure housing is key to maximizing transit ridership in transit-oriented communities. 5

Housing tenure and renter income are robust indicators of transit usage. 3. Mixed-income/tenure housing is key to maximizing transit ridership in transit-oriented communities. 8

9 Early Insight #2 5 Transit Trips per 1 workers Transit usage rates for renters consistently exceed that for owner even after controlling for income. Transit usage rates generally rise as income declines for renters, but generally remains flat for owners. Less than $3, $3, to less than $5, $5, to less than $75, $75, or more Owners (non-farm) Renters (non-farm) Source: 211 NHS 9
