In past <br /> years 85 % -86% of respondents said that losing the LINKS service would present a financial <br /> hardship. <br /> To further quantify the financial impact of LINKS, respondents were asked about income and <br /> household size. Using standards developed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, <br /> respondents were classified as "low income" if their income and household size causes them to <br /> fall below certain thresholds. For example, a single person earning less than $ 17.000 /year would <br /> be considered low- income. (These standards represent 200% of the poverty line.) At least one - <br /> quarter of the respondents (27 %) fell into the low- income category. Another 8% were in the next <br /> income category above low- income, earning only slightly more money. <br /> Valerie Brock Consulting 6 Ouober 2010 <br />
