任何有效的公共交通系统的一个主要组成部分是社区内所有乘客的公平使用权。在建设交通网络时考虑到公平性可以提高客流量和交通网络覆盖率。历史上依赖汽车的城市和 COVID-19 的大流行限制进一步加剧了交通运输中的社会公平问题。本文旨在使用劣势指数来量化交通公平性。然后将这些结果应用于整个 COVID-19 大流行期间交通系统的不同时期，以了解它如何影响公共交通的社会公平，作为加利福尼亚州里弗赛德案例研究的一部分。使用地理信息系统 (GIS) 软件将热图叠加在交通网络的线路和站点上，以可视化与交通公平性计算相关的变量。公开发布的通用交通供给规范（GTFS）数据用于绘制不同时间点的交通网络状态。结果表明，COVID-19 大流行期间的路线变化对交通运输的社会公平产生了显着但微小的影响。
A prime component of any effective public transportation system is equitable access for all riders within the community. Building transportation networks with equity in mind can boost ridership and transit network coverage. The problem of social equity in transportation is further exacerbated by historically auto-dependent cities and the pandemic restrictions from COVID-19. This paper aims to quantify transit equity using a disadvantage index. These results are then applied to different periods of a transit system throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to see how it affected social equity in public transportation as part of a case study in Riverside, California. Heat maps are overlaid on the transit network’s lines and stops using geographic information systems (GIS) software to visualize the variables associated with transit equity calculations. Publicly released General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data is used to plot the state of the transit network at different points in time. The results show that route changes during the COVID-19 pandemic had a noticeable but minimal effect on social equity in transportation.
