Assess students' ability to apply GIS spatial analysis and demographic data to identify and justify optimal sites for new public transit stops in a mid-sized city. Test knowledge of relevant data sources and preprocessing (population, age/income, employment, land use, road and transit networks), spatial methods (buffer and network catchments, density/suitability mapping, hot spot and kernel analyses), accessibility and equity metrics (population served within walk/travel time, disadvantaged communities), and practical constraints (land availability, right-of-way, cost trade-offs). Provide a concise workflow, compute key metrics for candidate locations, and justify a ranked selection of 2–3 stops based on quantitative results and planning objectives (coverage, equity, efficiency).
