Transit Access to Health Care Facilities	The proposed study would look at availability of transportation options for accessing health care. Studies have shown that lack of transportation reduces health care utilization among children, seniors, low-income people, and people with disabilities. The study would use analytical mapping tools to assess transit access to health care facilities, particularly from minority and low-income neighborhoods. It would include local transit services such as those provided by councils on aging, the Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services, and others. This study could be conducted in a subregion as a pilot, or it could include the entire MPO region.
