Food security is intrinsically related to health and well-being. This paper investigates the status quo of food insecurity among the population residing close to transit in various parts of the United States of America (USA). The data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the USA are analyzed in this research. Logistic regression is carried out by treating food insecurity as the dependent variable and socioeconomic variables such as age, income, education, and dependency on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as independent variables. Food insecurity is assessed with aggregated information on four aspects of inputs from those respondents who live near a transit: (1) worry food would run out; (2) food did not last; (3) could not afford to eat balanced meals; and (4) cut the size of meals or skipped meals. Findings suggest that respondents who live close to public transit in the USA and are from large central metro counties of the Northeastern, Southern, and Western states showed an increase in food insecurity if they were under 65 years of age, had income below the country’s median income, or their educational attainment was below bachelor’s degree. There was a significant association found in food insecurity of respondents living close to transit and subscribed to using food stamps or SNAP. Policies that could alleviate food insecurity by reducing the cost of living near transit are recommended.

“…Also, most studies such geographic contexts have either examined car-related factors and health outcomes related to sedentarism have focused on specific countries and have not focused on travel time. For example, a the recent study led by Patil and Sharma (2021 ), found that commuting by private modes in Navi Mumbai (India) was associated with getting overweight/obese. Similarly, a study set in China found that the association between neighbourhood characteristics and individual risk of being overweight among middle-aged and older adults was mediated by the odds of owning a car and spending less time being physically active ( Wang, Feng, et al, 2019 ).…”
