Emphasis has been placed on the health impacts lack of transportation inflicts on a community. This indicator presents overall transportation security as a combination of the population’s access to a motor vehicle and/or public transit. The greater the transportation security percentage, the greater the access to primary and secondary transportation options in that zip code.
Populations that do not have access to a motor vehicle in a location with no available public transit have the lowest transportation security. On average, 6.5 percent of the population in OKC-Co does not have access to a vehicle. Additionally, an average of 25.7 percent of the population lives within a quarter mile of a transit stop in OKC-Co.
