The redistributive effects of reduced transit fares for the elderly
Abstract Redistributive effects concern which socioeconomic groups pay for a particular program and which socioeconomic groups benefit from it. Considering the off-peak reduced farefor senior citizens required by UMTA Section 5 funding, an analysis of the resulting financial implication is the first step in examining any redistribution. Knowledge of the number of rides switched from peak to off-peak times, the number of new off-peak rides generated and any cost changes are necessary. It appears that such a policy will likely lower net revenue. If the loss is not reimbursed, a redistribution from non-elderly and peak riders to the elderly users will result; if reimbursement is available, a different result will be obtained. A survey of the literature fails to establish whether reducing fares is preferable to directly transferred income as a means of redistribution. It is concluded that off-peak reduced fare is more efficient than reduced fare at all hours. Finally, the redistribution due to the reduced fare funding mechanism used in Illinois appears to favor the poor.
