Snapshot Analysis

Snapshot Analysis for MTC Communities of Concern

MTC’s Snapshot Analysis comprises a set of 13 of transportation-related measures related to MTC’s low-income and minority communities of concern. Based on a recommendation in the Transportation 2035 Equity Analysis Report, the Snapshot Analysis is intended to drill-down on key transportation-related indicators in order to assess transportation differences between communities of concern today and track changes over time. Tracking these metrics also provides the opportunity to inform several of MTC’s ongoing regional planning efforts, including:

  • Development of the long-range Regional Transportation Plan and Equity Analysis
  • Development and updates to the Coordinated Public Transit–Human Services Transportation Plan

To develop the set of Snapshot metrics, MTC staff worked with members of MTC’s Minority Citizens Advisory Committee (MCAC) to identify high-priority questions for the Snapshot Analysis to address across the following themes:

  • Transportation Availability and Choices
  • Accessibility
  • Affordability
  • Safety
  • Environment

MCAC members and other interested stakeholders developed a set of key questions that reflected priority issues for the Snapshot Analysis to address. MTC staff then identified specific metrics to address those questions using available data that MTC currently collects or uses regularly, which were then mapped regionally and against locations of MTC’s 44 communities of concern.
