Access across Australia 2018: final report
This report measures accessibility, the ease of reaching valued destinations, for 8 major Australian cities, covering around 70% of resident workers and employment opportunities nationally. Accessibility, measured as the cumulative number of opportunities reachable within travel time thresholds, to both jobs and to workers’ residences are measured. This report includes accessibility by four modes of transport: automobile, transit, walking, and cycling, and compares accessibility between cities, across modes, and for the job-to-labor balance. The effects of traffic congestion on automobile travel times and the walking and transfer elements of the transit mode are reflected in the accessibility measures. The accessibility measurements capture the combined effect of land use and transport infrastructure. City centers are characterized by superior accessibility to both jobs and workers, higher jobs-to-workers ratios, and less pronounced advantage in automobile accessibility compared to other modes. Accessibility measurements are made at the Statistical Area 2 level for 8 am trip departure time. City level accessibility measures are produced as a population-weighted average to best represent the experience of the working population in general. Maps of 30-minute accessibility are included in this report, reflecting the latent travel time budget, and the vision of the 30-minute city.
