“过境沙漠”一词是一个新概念，它着眼于过境服务水平（供应）与特定人口需求（需求）之间的差距。这些人通常被称为“交通依赖者”，他们太年轻、太老、太穷或身体上不能开车。在这种情况下，“过境沙漠”被定义为缺乏适当公共交通服务的地区，因为这些地区的人口被认为依赖过境。本研究的目的是分析和建立一个明确的方法来计算和量化之间的差距过境需求和供应使用地理信息系统（GIS）。这项研究着眼于美国四个主要国家。S.城市：北卡罗来纳州的夏洛特;伊利诺斯州的芝加哥;俄亥俄州的辛辛那提;以及俄勒冈州的波特兰。过境沙漠通常发生在历史悠久的市中心周围的社区;然而，例外情况发生在非常孤立的农村地区。
The term "transit desert" is a new concept that looks at the gap between level of transit service (supply) and needs of a particular population (demand). These populations are often referred to as "transit dependent," people that are too young, too old, or too poor or who are physically unable to drive. " Transit deserts" in this case are defined as areas that lack adequate public transit service given areas containing populations that are deemed transit-dependent. This study aims to analyze and establish a clear method for calculating and quantifying gaps between transit demand and supply using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The study looks at four major U. S. cities: Charlotte, North Carolina; Chicago, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Portland, Oregon. Transit deserts often occur in neighborhoods surrounding historic downtowns; however, exceptions occur in very isolated rural areas.
