NEXT STEPS
▪ Accessibility is a direct measure of fundamental question:
“WHAT OPPORTUNITES ARE AVAILABLE TO ME?”
▪ As accessibility increases, so too do opportunities
▪ Accessibility increases through improvements to activity
patterns and transportation networks
INTRODUCTION
STEPS TOWARD A NEW TOOL SET
4
▪ Walking, biking and transit central to today’s planning
context
▪ Federal planning emphasis areas
▪ Ladders of Opportunity: Access to Essential Services
▪ Transition to Performance-Based Planning and
Programming
▪ Models of Regional Planning Cooperation
▪ Tools not able to answer questions
INTRODUCTION
NEW CONTEXT, OLD TOOLS

INTRODUCTION
ACCESSIBILITY IS INFLUENCED BY TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE
6
• Highway level of service
measures the impact of
congestion on speed
(travel time)
• Key assumption is: as
speed drops, so does
accessibility
• Given the influence of
proximity, is that always
true?
Yet, transportation planning has focused on mobility to estimate
accessibility impacts
The elegance of accessibility measures
▪ New metric that encompasses land use, network connectivity, performance
▪ Direct measure of what matters – access to opportunities (easy to explain)
▪ Measures across all travel modes (multimodal planning)
▪ Shifts focus to moving people & goods rather than “solving” congestion
▪ Encourages greater coordination between land use and transportation decisions (integrated planning tool)
▪ Measures disparities for differing groups across differing purposes and modes (ladders of opportunity)
ACCESSIBILITY IS A POWERFUL PLANNING CONCEPT AND TOOL

MIAMI-DADE APPLICATION
INTRODUCTION9
▪ Where is accessibility high, low, other, in terms of # of accessible opportunities (heat maps)
▪ How do scores relate to peer areas (numbers)
▪ Land use vs. Connectivity vs. Mobility diagnostics (heat maps & numbers)
▪ Accessibility score deltas (heat maps & numbers)
▪ IN FUTURE APPLICATION, mode splits (numbers)
WHAT DO RESULTS LOOK LIKE?

▪ Baseline or future conditions accessibility results
▪ Travel desires based on perfect grid or uncongested analysis
▪ Provides diagnostic capability to assess needs in addition to confirmed needs
WHAT DO RESULTS LOOK LIKE?
INTRODUCTION11
Note: Results depicted here are an approximation of accessibility and do not represent actual accessibility simulation.
▪ Generate existing accessibility scores by mode
▪ Define up to 50 scenarios composed of packages of investments to test 2040 Cost Feasible projects
▪ Define up to 25 additional custom scenarios to test specific concerns/issues/land use scenarios
▪ Summarize results in map and table format for comparison and assessment of 2040 plan
▪ Identify additional needs based on results

MODEL DEVELOPMENT
▪ Purpose: Develop responsive tools for estimating bike/walk demand
▪ Major Needs/Concerns:
▪ Effect of Land Use
▪ Role of Facilities
▪ Impact on motorized travel
▪ Response:
▪ Need finer geographic resolution
▪ Major role for new data/tools

▪ MULTIMODAL ACCESSIBILITY
▪ Recognizes limitations on the amount of time we have to travel
▪ Applies those limitations to what we can reasonably get to by mode (decay function)
▪ DECAY FUNCTION IS NOT A NEW CONCEPT
▪ Gravity model is based on friction factors
▪ Decay by mode is new (gravity model distributes based on auto access)
▪ POWER OF GIS
▪ Enables a fine grain analysis (critical for short walk trips)
▪ Seamless data set
▪ RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WHAT PEOPLE CAN GET TO BY MODE WITH WHAT & HOW PEOPLE TRAVEL ARE VERY STRONG
