Transit Accessibility

The Transit Accessibility indicator is the aggregate frequency of transit service during peak evening hours in a neighborhood within a quarter-mile of a transit station. Transit accessibility is a measure of how close and frequent transit service is to common destinations is in a community. Higher numbers are better than lower numbers. Data are available for download at the block group level through the EPA’s Smart Location Database.

Communities with good transit accessibility have high public transit ridership. High public transit has an positive impact on physical activity and obesity. High numbers of transit trips also act as a substitute for auto trips. Fewer auto trips may help lower air pollution and motor vehicle collisions. Transit Accessibility is in the Transportation Services domain.
