OMNITRANS COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT
& SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN
• Proportion of the population under age 16 (youth per square mile).
• Proportion of population below the poverty level per square mile.
• Proportion of households with no vehicle per square mile.
The higher the population or job density and the higher the proportion of elderly, youth, households with
incomes below the poverty level or without a private vehicle, the higher the TOI. The higher the TOI, the
greater the potential transit market as reflected in a higher per capita transit ridership. Higher transit
productivity generally results when service is provided along corridors or between nodes with higher TOI.
Figure 4-7 and Figure 4-8 provide illustrations of the Omnitrans fixed route system (2006) in relation to a
Residential TOI and high concentrations of residential and job density. For a larger version of these
maps, see Appendix H.
