Riverside, California, located approximately 55 miles east of Los Angeles, is home to a sprawling population of over 320,000 residents. Previously a citrus farming town, Riverside has evolved into an industrial manufacturing city competing with others of its size. Public transportation in Riverside is deficient compared to larger cities across the United States, with routes taking over 100% longer than personal vehicle routes. A Geographical Information System and qualitative data assessment were used as analysis tools to determine the accessibility of the existing infrastructure. Mapping identified transportation covered areas, while qualitative data examined income levels as a potential factor. Two neighborhood groups, Canyon Crest in the southeast and La Sierra in the northwest, were selected for analysis. La Sierra lacks public transport coverage and has a lower median household income, meaning there is a greater reliance on public transit. Canyon Crest, despite limited public transportation, has a higher median household income, showing the need for broader public transit accessibility beyond lower-income demographics. This study revealed that while transportation infrastructure exists within these neighborhoods, the frequency of bus services falls short, limiting many from using public transit. Addressing these gaps is essential to encourage more residents to use public transportation and reduce reliance on personal vehicles, considering that over 73% of commuters currently drive single-use transport.
