Access to opportunities can be tough to define. @ansoncfit sheds light on measures to do so next time you're selecting a project. Join us at June's TRB Innovations in Travel Analysis and Planning Conference in Indianapolis. Register today! #TRBplanning ow.ly/1QbE50NihBJ

Excited to share the preprint of our new study analyzing the potential of #ridehailing to improve accessibility as a standalone mode + in conjunction with transit as a 1st-mile feeder service 📑 osf.io/pesjk/ Great collaboration with @dhersz @mvpsaraiva & @FarberSteven

Made a few maps illustrating the impact of transit frequency on non-work access to destinations in the Sacramento area.
Map of the greater Sacramento region showing the difference in access to destinations by transit between the 5th percentile travel time scenario and 95th percentile scenario, expressed as a percent decrease. Map illustrates where lower-frequency parts of the network lead to lower non-work access to destinations. These areas include the outer reaches of Elk Grove, West Sacramento, and Folsom, amongst others.

Map of the greater Sacramento region showing the difference in access to destinations by transit between the 5th percentile travel time scenario and 95th percentile scenario, expressed as a raw difference. Map illustrates where lower-frequency parts of the network lead to lower non-work access to destinations. Since this map shows the raw decrease, the areas with the greatest difference are those with the highest transit access to begin with, such as areas along the light rail network.

For those working with multimodal routing + accessibility, @ansoncfit & @globalvoid have a new great paper "Half-(head)way there: Comparing two methods to account for public transport waiting time in accessibility indicators" 📑journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs… 🔓dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1…
