2024 UpdatesDVRPC performed an analysis to create the CHSTP Priority Score, a layer that helps users visualize where there is a potentially high need to improve transit service for vulnerable populations to reach essential services in the Greater Philadelphia region. As a metropolitan planning organization, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is responsible for updating the region's Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (CHSTP). The CHSTP update engaged a variety of stakeholders to identify unmet needs and service gaps, recommend innovative transportation access solutions, and empower communities to climb "ladders of opportunity" toward greater social and economic mobility.As part of the CHSTP update, DVRPC created the CHSTP Priority Score Map Toolkit. This interactive web-based tool demonstrates disparities in access to essential services like hospitals, health clinics, recreational spaces, senior centers, and more in the Greater Philadelphia region. Users can view layers representing different datasets including the locations of essential services; bus routes, transit stops, and rail lines; transit walksheds; distributions of vulnerable populations like seniors, households in poverty, and people with disabilities; and areas where transit access is low.https://github.com/dvrpc/gis-chstp includes all code for the analysis.Below are several of the analyses included in this dataset.Vulnerable Populations answers the question, “Who lives here?” and highlights populations in need.Essential Services answers the question, “Where do people need to go?” and highlights areas with more services in the region.Population-Services Mismatch answers the question, “Where is there a gap between areas of need and essential services?” This layer highlights areas where there are higher numbers of vulnerable populations but fewer essential services and vice versa.Transit Accessibility answers the question, “How is transit service distributed?” and highlights areas in the region with lower transit accessibility.Priority Score answers the question, “Where can transit service be improved to help vulnerable populations access essential services?” This layer, the result of our analysis, highlights areas with higher numbers of vulnerable populations or essential services, but lower transit accessibility and vice versa.NameFieldSourceAdditional InfoNotesVULNERABLE POPULATIONSTotal Number of HouseholdshhACSB11001_001EAmerican Community Survey 5-Year Data (2018-2022)Total Number of PeoplepopACSB01003_001EAmerican Community Survey 5-Year Data (2018-2022)Households with 1 or More People with Disabilityhh1_disACSB22010, Estimate; Household received Food Stamps/SNAP in the past 12 monthsAmerican Community Survey 5-Year Data (2018-2022)Number of Households Below Poverty Linehh_povACSB17017 Estimate; Income in the past 12 months below poverty level:American Community Survey 5-Year Data (2018-2022)People 65 or Older_65olderACSB01001, summarized by sex and age groupsAmerican Community Survey 5-Year Data (2018-2022)Vulnerable Population Rankvul_pop_rankDVRPCcalculatedESSENTIAL SERVICESActivity Centers for Seniors or Disabledss_cntOverture MapOverture Map (2024)Food Storesfood_cntOverture MapOverture Map (2024)Health Care Facilitieshc_cntOverture MapOverture Map (2024)Number of Educational Institutionsschool_cntNCEShttps://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/ ; https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch/ ; https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/Parks/Open Space Presentos_checkDVRPCDVRPC Parks/Open Space (2016)Trailstrail_cntDVRPCDVRPC Circuit Trails (2020)Essential Services Totales_sumDVRPCcalculatedJobssum_jobsCensus LODESCensus LODESEssential Services Rankes_rankDVRPCcalculatedAccess Gapaccess_gap_rankDVRPCcalculate the difference of vulnerable population rank and essential service rank for access gapTRANSIT ACCESSIBILITYTransit Accessibilty Zonest_45min_zone_cnt ; t_zone_quantileDVRPCDVRPC Travel Models (2023), How many areas a person could access in a 45 minute transit tripEssential Services in 45 minute TAZ zones t_es_cnt; t_job_cnt; t_45min_es_job_avgOverture Maps, DVRPC travel modeljobs in block group and other essential services grouped into separate bins then averagedDaily Departures (by TAZ)total_departures, depart_quantileGTFS - SEPTA, NJTRANSIT, PATCOFrequency of serviceWalkability Rankwalkshed_quantileDVRPC pedestrian network, GTFS - SEPTA, NJTRANSIT, PATCOWalkability of the block group to transit stations/stopsTransit Accessibilty Ranktransit_access_rankDVRPCPriority Scorechstp_scoreDVRPCcalculated
