In-town, regional and intercity passenger services in the Quad Cities offer options for those who cannot or choose not to operate a car. Recent redevelopments in the urban core of the Quad Cities, especially in the downtown areas, benefit passenger transportation services by in- creasing commercial and residential densities that provide potential new areas for new ridership. Multimodal transportation is an attrac- tive option in the Quad Cities, as all fixed-route buses have bike racks for riders to complete the first mile and last mile of their trips. Passenger transportation services offer more than just a means to get around, they offer economic development opportunities to com- munities wishing to take advantage of street-side activity, such as in the form of transit-oriented development. Some members of the community are transit dependent, meaning public transit and oth- er passenger transportation may be the sole means of mobility for these residents (seniors, low-income, and individuals with disabilities, for example). Others choose to use public transportation for a variety of reasons: environmental, economic, health, etc. Improving access for all in the community, both transit-dependent as well as choice riders, will lead to a healthier, more efficient, and livable region. Strong passenger transportation systems contribute to a more eco- nomically vibrant Bi-State Region. Future improvements across the region will increase access to employment centers, schools, shopping centers, and medical facilities while spurring economic activity and mitigating congestion and air and noise pollution. According to the Federal Transit Administration, public health and safety also improve with the use of public transportation. On-going promotion of multi- modal transportation, such as the availability of bike racks on buses or micro-transit services, expand mobility choices in the Quad Cities metropolitan area. The benefits of public transportation are clear, DRAFTand the Quad Cities Area is capable and prepared to take advantage of its existing and future passenger transportation infrastructure. 136 • Page Passenger Air, Rail, and Transit Systems Urban Transit Services The Quad Cities Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) is served by three urban fixed-route transit services: Bettendorf Transit, Davenport Citi- Bus, and the Rock Island County Metropolitan Mass Transit District (MetroLINK) (see Map 5.1). Coordination among the three systems is an ongoing effort that includes quarterly meetings. In total, ap- proximately 69.2%1 of the MPA population is located within a quar- ter-mile, or about a five-minute walk, of a bus route. Development along the most popular corridors expands economic opportunities that could bolster ridership and quality of life resulting in greater accessibility, cleaner air, and a healthier lifestyle. Economic activity is already high near existing fixed transit routes. Approximately 79.6%2 of businesses in the urban area, representing approximately 136,132 employees, are located within a quarter mile of a transit route. The Transit Priority Corridors shown in Map 5.2 represent corridors with high potential for transit-oriented development. Transit operators have worked to improve passenger access to their facilities through investments in new transit-oriented developments and upgrades to stations. All three systems operate as flag-down service, meaning that riders may stand anywhere along a route and request a bus to stop. Locations with bus shelters must meet ADA accessibility standards, as do all transfer facilities. Additionally, new developments, such as the partnership between MetroLINK, the City of Rock Island, and Rock Island Economic Growth Corporation called The Locks, have improved station access while also promoting transit and multimodal transportation. The residential development con- sisting of a 34-unit apartment building next to the transit station is also located across IL-92 from the Great River Trail. New access can also be utilized between Centre Station in Moline and the Q passen- ger rail station. The pedestrian crossing over the railroad tracks was completed in 2020 and connects future passenger rail service, local fixed-route service, intercity bus, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and water taxi in one centralizedDRAFT location. Likewise in 2015, MetroLINK completed construction of a new Mega Stop at South Park Mall to 1 ESRI Community Analyst, Data from U.S. Census Bureau, 2018 American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. 2 ESRI Community Analyst, Data from Infogroup, Inc., 2020. Page • 137 Passenger Air, Rail, and Transit Systems accommodate shoppers and employees. The project consists of an improved walkway to connect directly with the “front door” of the mall and a 3,400 square-foot covered platform designed to accom- modate four buses. Urban transit faced unprecedented challenges beginning in early spring 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic began to affect the daily lives of Americans across the country. Residents of the Quad Cit- ies, likewise, severely altered their travel behaviors, and ridership on public transit decreased by 50-60% in each fixed-route system. Nonetheless, many essential workers continued to rely on transit services throughout the pandemic. Demand-response service, such as River Bend Transit, experienced a decrease of approximately 80% in ridership, whereas MetroLINK’s microtransit service did not experi- ence a decline. Regional ridership recovered throughout the summer of 2020. The U.S. Congress passed the CARES Act in spring 2020 to assist with, among other things, budgetary shortfalls at public transit agencies. The one-time infusion of funds helped bridge the funding gap. However, the long-term implications of passengers’ travel be- havior will be unclear for months or years after the pandemic is over.

Each of these corridors has a distinctive character and roles to play in the urban context.

    Scott County Community Health Needs Assessment and Health Improvement Plan

    Scott County Community Health Needs Assessment and Health Improvement Plan Section I: Review of Health Status Indicators A. Demographic and Socio-economic Characteristics 1. Age Analysis: Compare the county and state percentage age distributions and describe how the county age distribution is different from the state. (Note especially the females 15-44 and the 65 and over groups as well as the 0-5 group.) Overall, the distribution of Scott County’s population is similar to the distribution in the State of Iowa. 7.2% of Scott County’s population is less than five years old compared to 6.5% of Iowa’s. Scott County has a larger percent of the population (45.4%) in the 15-44 age group in comparison to only 43% of Iowa’s. A larger percent of Iowa’s population is 65 years and over (36.3%) compared to 32% in Scott County. After examining data in the 1998 Iowa’s Counties, 1997 estimates of the Iowa population show that 41.6% of Iowa women are in the age range of 15-44 and this translates to 22.1% of the total population. In Scott County, 44.9% of the women of Scott County are in the 15-44 age range, which is 23% of the total Scott County population. An interesting finding is that Scott County’s minority populations are young. For example, information from the 1990 Census shows that 79% of the total Black population is less than or equal to 39 years of age. This is especially true in men. The Black population is a long-standing one in Scott County.
