Abstract

Transportation burden has long existed in Seattle; yet few research has looked into the burden on different neighborhoods. This research therefore constructed a linear regression model for estimating transportation burden to explore the geographical disparities. In addition, the significant influence of racial distribution was also analyzed. Future policies may utilize the findings of this research.

Keywords
