Phoenix 19th for job accessibility on public transportation

PHOENIX — An annual study has named Phoenix the 19th most accessible city when it comes to getting to work using public transportation.

The University of Minnesota Accessibility Observatory examined the accessibility of jobs by transit in 46 of the 50 largest by population metropolitan areas in the United States.

Phoenix was noted for its over 1.7 million total jobs and more than 1.6 million workers. The study said about 105,000 jobs are accessible within an hour’s travel time from any point in the Phoenix metro area.

Out of the cities studied, New York topped the list with the most number of jobs that can be reached in 30 minutes by public transit. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Chicago rounded out the top five, respectively.

Travel times include walking, waiting, riding and transfers, the report said.
