Mr. Hipp stated that the 18-month effort began with collecting data on crime and transit use from 2006 to 2015. He reviewed demographic information noting that black residents are 200 percent more likely to use public transportation, 250 percent more likely to ride the bus and 100 percent more likely to ride trains. Latino residents are 130 percent more likely to ride the bus and 35 percent more likely to ride rails. Next, he looked at the age of housing associated with transit riders as well as public transportation use by census tract for each county. Mr. Hipp stated crime statistics were collected for areas within one-quarter and one-half mile of transit stops and the amount of ridership at those stops. He noted that there was no increase in crime around the Los Angeles train system and that fear of crime did not discourage ridership. He reviewed crime near bus stops which showed the same trend. Next, he reviewed statistics for Latino neighborhoods which showed a continued pattern 4 Regional Transit Technical Advisory Committee (RTTAC) – January 27, 2021 where high violent and property crime does not reduce ridership in those neighborhoods. Mr. Hipp concluded that the study did not show evidence that crime reduces transit ridership. He noted one potential reason for this is because there is less crime in the mornings when transit ridership is higher due to commuting activities. Joyce Rooney, Beach Cities Transit, asked if crime against bus or train drivers was measured. Mr. Hipp responded that specific data relating to crime against transit vehicle drivers was not obtained as the focus was on crime’s effect on transit riders. Shirley Hsiao, Long Beach Transit, asked if crime and bus ridership data was correlated by time of day. Mr. Hipp responded that next steps in the study would compare that data for further understanding. Monica Morales, Riverside County Transportation Commission, asked if the study considered that transit riders may not have other transportation options and therefore tolerate crime as a consequence of riding. Mr. Hipp noted, that is part of the future analysis, but it is also a difficult thing to measure. It would involve individual perceptions and choices which are not easily measured. 5.2 Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSSA) Funding Update Mariana Pulido, SCAG staff, reported on the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations ACT (CRRSSA). Ms. Pulido noted in December 2020 CRRSSA was approved and includes approximately $14 billion for transit agencies. The funds are to be apportioned under the formulas for FTA’s Section 5307 formula grant program and Section 5337 State of Good Repair Program. It was noted that no urbanized area may receive more than 75 percent of the UZA’s 2018 operating cost. Ms. Pulido noted that the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim UZA is apportioned $954 million, the Indio-Cathedral City area approximately $5 million and the Santa Clarita UZA received $224,351.
