2 Walkability, Livability, Accessibility Sugar Access - Measuring Accessibility (Robert Kohler, Citilabs) Slide 2 of 21

3 Accessibility is a measure that examines both land use and transportation systems, it is the ease of reaching valued destinations. Measure it for various transportation modes to different types of destinations at different times of day Accessibility is used in many ways in transportation (Litman 2014) Roadway Engineering ADA and Pedestrian Planning Geography and Urban Economics Accessibility analysis applications for transportation systems? Public Transportation Transportation Project Prioritization Environmental Justice & Title VI Active Transportation Plans Health and Human Services Economic Development Plans Sugar Access - Measuring Accessibility (Robert Kohler, Citilabs) Slide 3 of 21

4 Types of Accessibility Analysis Travel Times Minimum travel time to a grocery store in the city by walking Minimum travel time to job center using public transportation Destination Summation Amount of jobs accessible within 30 minutes using transit Number of parks accessible within 15 minutes by walking Access Score Local walkability score Healthy living index Map Mixer Comparison of two accessibility scenarios Sugar Access - Measuring Accessibility (Robert Kohler, Citilabs) Slide 4 of 21
