• Abstract:
  The overall goal of this project was to provide a more complete measure of access to policy makers in the region by focusing on access to specific destinations including schools and colleges, fresh grocery stores, healthcare facilities, and government services. Subsidized housing units were scored using a metric called the Transit Opportunity Index which factors in proximity of transit service, the frequency of the nearby service, and the travel time to desirable destinations using the transit network. The results of this work will be shared with local affordable housing advocates to inform policymakers and promote the use of accessibility measures in funding decisions.
