Case Study:

San Francisco Bay Area, California

Methodology

Level of Effort

MTC staff estimate that perhaps one to two person-weeks were required to conduct the accessibility analysis, including writing the ACCMTX program, computing and processing the accessibility measures, and documenting results. Updating the analysis would take about two to three person-days, including analysis and documentation time.

As noted, the analysis utilizes travel demand model data as well as programming, statistical, spreadsheet, and GIS software that most MPOs would have in-house. Some programming skills are required to analyze the travel demand model output. In addition, the comparison of means for statistical significance requires a basic understanding of how to apply various statistical tests.
