Abstract

This paper examines job accessibility by travel mode in three U.S. metropolitan areas-Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The computed job-access measures indicate that workers who depend on public transportation have much lower levels of accessible job opportunities than workers who have access to automobiles. The measures also indicate that despite substantial job suburbanization, central-city areas still offer more of a geographical advantage in accessing employment opportunities than suburban areas. The geographical disparity in job accessibility is much smaller than the auto/transit disparity, suggesting that travel mode has greater importance in determining job accessibility than location.
