C-3. Analysis Methodology
With regard to transportation service and demand in the Planning Area, the Center for
Neighborhood Technology has compiled and analyzed various data as the background for the
creation of a circulator bus service to serve local residents. This study involved two analyses:
•
Car-less population: using Census data at the block group level these maps document the
concentration of housing units with no vehicle or 1 vehicle or less available in the
Planning Area. This data is also compared to Joliet and Will County totals
•
Circulator Screener: using GIS (geographic information system) this screen looked for
intersections in the Planning Area that would have the optimum demand (within a ½-mi
buffer around the intersection) for a circulator service.
In both analyses, demographic data is taken from the 2000 Census, focusing on the 59 Census
block groups (in 19 tracts) that overlap the current (2007) boundaries of the Planning Area. In
the Circulator Screener, data was also taken from the current ReferenceUSA Business Database,
a comprehensive listing of US businesses updated regularly.
Car-less population
The following maps show the percentage of housing units per Census block group which have no
vehicle available (Map 1) or 1 or fewer vehicles available (Map 2). Additionally, the
accompanying chart breaks down the car-less population by age group for the Planning Area
block groups and compares that information to Joliet and Will County totals. Data for Joliet city
is for the city as defined by the Census in 2000, smaller than today’s current boundaries, and not
for all block groups that intersect it.

Circulator Screener
The screener run by CNT looked at data aggregated to ½-mile buffers around intersections in the
Planning Area and optimized for certain key variables. The screener looked at: total households,
housing units with no vehicle available, housing units with one or fewer vehicles available,3
count of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) type retail businesses present (selected by SIC),
and proximity to social service agencies (United Way and Will County Continuum of Care
agencies). The screener assigned a score to each intersection point which was then ranked.
The screener was run twice:
• First, looking for optimal intersections as points of origin for a circulator bus service. We
optimized for:
− greatest number of households,
− greatest number of housing units with no vehicle,
− and greatest number of housing units with one vehicle or less
• Second, looking for optimal intersections as destinations for a circulator bus service. We
optimized for:
− greatest number of households,
− greatest number of TOD-type retail businesses,
− and greatest number of social service agencies
From the two screens we combined the top 20% of the ranked buffers (28 of 144) for a total of
38 buffers because nearly half the buffers were identified as both optimal points of origin and
destination. These buffers were then combined (Map 3) and data re-aggregated for the whole
area (not the sum of the individual, often overlapping buffers). Map 4 shows the centroids of the
individual buffers.
In the data table for the circulator screener, certain variables not included in the screener analysis
are provided for reference.
