Leo F. Schnore

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

In the early 1960s, much attention was being paid to the transportation crisis facing U.S. cities. Demographic data, such as that gathered by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, can be a helpful source for providing direction for study of transportation-related problems. This paper is concerned with the use of public transportation in the central cities of 213 urbanized areas; that is, those densely settled conurbations within which the urban transport problem was regarded as most severe as determined from 1960 U.S. Bureau of the Census data.
