在这项研究中，一个指数被称为过境经济公平指数，使定量评估过境服务的公平性。该指数基于出行速度，使用包括公交线路、停靠站位置、公交时刻表和通过街道网络的行人连接的多式联运网络，衡量残疾人和弱势群体工作旅行的出行便利性。将非高峰时段服务与高峰时段服务进行比较，以确定运营资源集中在可能对非高峰时段人口有更大好处的时间的程度。最后，交通系统的可访问性进行了比较，在社区和就业中心的过境站的数量，这些数字之间进行比较，并处于不利地位的位置。这三个组成部分的分数合并在一起，形成一个单一的过境经济公平的衡量标准。不利地位是根据1964年《民权法》第六章规定的标准界定的。该指数的构建方式是平衡一个强大的和有意义的衡量过境公平的方式，是由从业人员破译，使他们能够评估他们的系统的公平性，以及如何潜在的服务变化影响公平。
In this study an index is developed called the Transit Economic Equity Index, to enable quantitative assessment of transit service equity. The index measures convenience of travel for work trips for advantaged and disadvantaged populations, based on travel speed, using a multimodal network that includes transit lines, stop locations, transit schedules, and pedestrian connections via the street network. Non-peak hour service is compared with peak hour service to determine the degree to which operating resources are concentrated in times that might have greater benefits to advantaged populations. Finally, accessibility to the transit system is compared in relation to the number of transit stops in neighborhoods and employment centers, and these figures are compared between advantaged and disadvantaged locations. The scores for these three components are combined to create a single measure of transit economic equity. Disadvantage is defined using criteria established in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The index is constructed in a way that balances a robust and meaningful measure of transit equity that is decipherable by practitioners so that they can assess the equity of their systems as well as how potential service changes affect equity.
