  1. Transit-Oriented Development in Omaha UP206A KRISTEN FIGUEIRA

  2. CURRENT POPULATION: ALMOST 410,000 GROWTH: POPULATION EXPECTED TO DOUBLE BY 2050 SOLUTION? TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) TRANSIT RIDERSHIP: 1.4% WHY OMAHA?

  3. PROJECT AREA

  4. PUBLIC TRANSIT (OMAHA METRO)

  5. Benson Park Transit Center North Omaha Transit Center Westroads Transit Center Midtown Transit Center Downtown Transit Center Metro College Transit Center TRANSIT CENTERS

  6. TRANSIT USE AND RIDERSHIP

  7. DENSITY AND RIDERSHIP

  8. INCOME AND RIDERSHIP

  9. TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT: • DENSITY • SOCIO-ECONOMIC • OTHER FACTORS: • YOUNG PROFESSIONALS & “EMPTY NESTERS” • TRANSIT QUALITY • OTHER MODE CHOICE • IT’S ALL ABOUT ACCESS! TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

  10. Benson Park Transit Center North Omaha Transit Center Westroads Transit Center Midtown Transit Center Downtown Transit Center Metro College Transit Center MEDIAN INCOME (within 1 mile of transit center)

  11. Transit Center Ridership + Pct Trans + Med Inc + Density + Bike + Walk TOD VIABILITY

  12. Transit Center Ridership + Pct Trans + Pct Below Poverty + Median Income + Density + Avg Ed TOD FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSING

  13. TOD IN OMAHA? • DEPENDS ON YOUR GOALS • FOR AFFLUENT YOUNG, HOUSEHOLDS IT HAS POTENTIAL, BUT NOT MUCH • AS A MEANS OF FUNDING FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSING, IT COULD BE A VIABLE OPTION CONCLUSION

  14. IMAGES • Title Page Photo: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/009/10/1022_40_strongest_US_metro_economies/9.htm • Newspaper Article: • http://www.mapacog.org • OMAHA Metro Map: • http://ometro.com/bus-system-page/system-map • MAPS • ESRI • 2010 TIGERFILES • DATA • American Fact Finder 2010 • Omaha Metro • MAPA Council of Governments REFERENCES

  15. MODELING • ORIGNAL DATA (transit centers and ridership) • MEASUREMENT/ANALYSIS • HOT SPOT ANALYSIS (SPATIAL ANALYST) • GEOCODING • INSET MAP • GRADUATED SYMBOLS • AGGREGATING ATTRIBUTE FIELDS (transit use, ag) • CREATING INDICES (poverty, minority) • CUSTOM SHAPEFILE CREATION (transit centers and ridership data) • ATTRIBUTE SUB-SET SELECTION • GEOPROCESSING SKILLS

  16. Attribute Subset Selections for Clips: • Omaha was derived by querying places (NB Places, "Name"= Omaha) • Douglas County was derived by quering Counties Shapefile (Counties, "Name" = "Douglas" AND "SFID" = "055")  • Spatial Analyst: • Variables were reclassified (high/low) based on output spatial analysis (ie- Median Income reverse ranked for Low Income Locations but not TOD Viability) • TOD Viability: Transit Center Ridership + Pct Trans + Med Inc + Density + Bike + Walk • Low Income Locations: Transit Center Ridership + Pct Trans + Pct Below Poverty + Median Income + Density + Avg Ed SKILLS

  17. JOINS OF CENSUS DATA (% BELOW POVERTY LINE, % MINORITY, MEDIAN INCOME, TOTAL HOUSEHOLDS, ETHNICITY to Douglas County) MODEL: JOINS

  18. MODEL: RASTER FOR SPATIAL ANALYSIS

  19. MODEL: TOD VIABILITY RECLASSIFY

  20. MODEL: TOD LOW-INCOME RECLASSIFY
