Efficiency Versus Equity
Efficiency Versus Equity : Transportation systems often have two different purposes. The first is the efficient movement of people and goods. The second is providing equitable access to all people. Often, one investment may provide both equity and efficiency, but other times they are mutually exclusive. For example, a new LRT line connecting a dense residential development to a downtown core may provide good efficiency returns based on the number of people moved and travel time for the financial investment. A bus serving a sprawling community with few riders may not be efficient (low returns for investment) but high equity (provides access for residents in that community who don't have access to a car)
