  • Public Transit and the Spatial Distribution of Minority Employment: Evidence from a Natural Experiment

Raphael, S Publication Date 2003 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California August 2002 Public Transit and the Spatial Distribution of Minority Employment: Evidence from a Natural Experiment Harry J. Holzer Public Policy Institute Georgetown University [email protected] John M. Quigley Department of Economics and Goldman School of Public Policy University of California, Berkeley [email protected] Steven Raphael Goldman School of Public Policy University of California, Berkeley [email protected] We thank Eugene Smolensky and Michael Stoll for their very helpful comments and suggestions. This research was supported by the University of California Transportation Center, the Berkeley Program on Housing and Urban Policy, the Russell Sage Foundation, and the National Science Foundation (grant SBR-9709197). Abstract A recent expansion of the San Francisco Bay Area’s heavy rail system represents an exogenous change in the accessibility of inner-city minority communities to a concentrated suburban employment center. We evaluate this natural experiment by conducting a two-wave longitudinal survey of firms, with the first wave of interviews conducted immediately prior to the opening of service and the second wave approximately a year later. We compare within-firm changes in the propensity to hire minority workers for firms located near the station to those located further away, and we also estimate the effect of employer distance to the new stations on changes in propensity to hire minorities.

  • 2015 Station Profiles
    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Home Origins STATION PROFILES – HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for each BART station, based on data from customers who travel to the station from home. Maps for each station are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. Note that the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport stations are not included in this section due to small sample sizes of home origin trips at these stations. The maps in the separate PDF files depict home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday home origin trips, such as: absolute number of entries and estimated home-origin entries access mode share trip destination types customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context. The source for the car parking data is BART’s draft SRTP/CIP for FY17 (the car parking data are noted as current as of December 2015). The bicycle parking data were provided by BART’s Customer Access Department for spring 2015 and include bike racks, lockers, and bike station spaces where applicable.
