Accessibility metrics vary in their measurement approach, purposes, and levels of complexity. Accessibility is normally reported in the form of a score or index to describe the ease of reaching destinations from a place, which allows analysts to compare accessibility from one place to another, or track changes in accessibility over time. The chapter then considers the foundational concepts of accessibility measurement and representation. It also demonstrates empirical application at the project level. Moving accessibility-based evaluation from the regional scenario to the project level involves more than applying regional tools to individual decisions, because project-level analysis is inherently different from a regional analysis.","PeriodicalId":309474,"journal":{"name":"From Mobility to Accessibility","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127093605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonwork differs from work accessibility in three important ways. First, people's propensity to travel long distances is significantly greater for work trips than for nonwork trips. The relative shortness of nonwork trips may result from the closeness of available alternative destinations, a resistance to traveling longer distances for nonwork purposes, or some combination of the two. Second, there are frequently good substitutes for nonwork destinations. For example, one grocery store or restaurant may be readily patronized instead of another. Third, nonwork destinations are far more varied and less standardized than work destinations. The chapter then develops a comprehensive index of nonwork accessibility, applies it to large metropolitan regions in the United States, and compares the distribution of nonwork accessibility to work accessibility.","PeriodicalId":309474,"journal":{"name":"From Mobility to Accessibility","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116293650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
