Who benefits from transit subsidies? recent evidence from six metropolitan areas
Abstract On the basis of detailed case studies of six U.S. metropolitan areas, this paper examines variations among cities in the income-redistributive impact of transit subsidies in 1980. The distribution of subsidies in each city is estimated through analysis of the socioeconomic characteristics of riders on each type of transit service and the degree to which each type of service was subsidized. The estimated distribution of the transit tax burden reflects the tax mix used for transit finance in each city as well as the composition of funding by level of government. The subsidy and tax cost distributions are compared to calculate the distribution of net subsidies in each area. Causes of the variation among cities in redistributive impact are discussed, and recommendations are made for increasing the progressivity of transit finance.
