1 Land use and transportation can affect public health via the pathways of neighborhood 2 accessibility and physical activity levels. Health issues, like diabetes, represent a complex 3 interplay of nutrition, genetics, and environment. This work aimed to test if and how greater 4 transportation accessibility (measured by higher density, mixed land-use, and proximity to bike 5 lanes) is associa...

Public managers can use the accessibility measures in order to promote an appropriate urban planning, mainly the highway network infrastructure and the public transpo...

Measuring ease of access to transit services is important in evaluating existing services, predicting travel demands, allocating transportation investments, and making decisions on land development. A composite index to assessing accessibility of public transit is described. It involves use of readily-available methods and represents a more holistic measure of transit accessibility, integrating...
