Public transit serves the people of a city by providing access to jobs, education, shopping, healthcare, recreation, and more. Traffic congestion, climate change, and the evolving economy and population of cities have created a greater need than ever to understand how well transit is serving these needs.
The tools, techniques, and best practices showcased here will help you perform powerful and important analysis with public transit data in ArcGIS.
