• Abstract:
  This report examines whether transit accessibility to jobs from individual traffic analysis zones has an impact on employment of different racial/ethnic groups. Demonstrations of cross-town bus routes making suburban employment more accessible have been well-used by people traveling to suburban jobs, supporting the idea that transit accessibility may make a difference. Earlier literature on spatial mismatch theory suggests that transit accessibility should make a difference in unemployment rates for African-Americans confined to inner city ghettos.
