In recent years, while a great amount of attention has been directed to the creation of metropolitan regional transportation systems, relatively little research and analysis has been directed to neighborhood and local community circulation services and local transit feeder services. This paper presents an analysis of community level and neighborhood transportation system using Geographic Information System (GIS). The paper assesses various demographic and land use characteristics contributing to the usage of neighborhood and local transit services and it addresses pertinent matters related to better understanding the need for and the successful implementation of community-based, local transportation services. This paper presents studies of thirty community level fixed transit routes. Using the origin-destination information and detailed land-use maps obtained from the city of Los Angeles, a GIS data base was developed including service routes; land use patterns; traffic volumes; and census of population and socioeconomic characteristics. A statistical analysis was performed to derive any relationships or patterns between the existing community transit routes and land use and socioeconomic variables. The results revealed that the community level bus routes (fixed transit routes) cater largely to business activities and primarily serve an employed population for non-commuting trips. A cartographic assessment of the routes showed that high loading patterns are associated with commercial and service areas.
