Access to Jobs and Workers via Transit - Service

Published by U.S. EPA Office of the Administrator (OA) - Office of Policy (OP) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 12:30 AM | Dataset Last Updated: March 19, 2014 at 12:00 AM
A collection of performance indicators and regional benchmarks for consistently comparing neighborhoods (census block groups) across the US in regards to their accessibility to jobs or workers via public transit service. Accessibility was modeled by calculating total travel time between block group centroids inclusive of walking to/from transit stops, wait times, and transfers. Block groups that can be accessed in 45 minutes or less from the origin block group are considered accessible. Indicators reflect public transit service in December 2012 and employment/worker counts in 2010. Coverage is limited to census block groups within metropolitan regions served by transit agencies who share their service data in a standardized format called GTFS.
