About the Event
In this webinar, Eric Lind and staff from CTS’s Accessibility Observatory will introduce the newest Access Across America report, quantifying access to opportunity at a national scale. The 2022 report reflects continued change in transportation in cities following the COVID-19 pandemic, as economic and travel behavior trends solidified. Highlights from the data on access to jobs by walking, biking, transit, and auto for the top 50 US cities will be combined with a discussion of these urban adaptations—and the contrast between auto access and more sustainable modes.
