The United States of Unsustainable Transit

under research

A University of Cincinnati honors student, Zane Sawyer, is conducting an independent research project comparing public transit systems across Cincinnati, Portland, Seattle, Melbourne, and Perth to identify improvements for Cincinnati's Metro. The study examines rider experiences and perceptions across cities with varying transit infrastructure and uses Geographic Information Systems software to visualize findings. The research aims to identify best practices from cities with different transit histories, funding models, and ridership patterns.
