Transit Data
These data sets were created as part of the Access Across America: Transit series, which examines the accessibility to jobs by transit in the largest (by population) metropolitan areas in the United States. It is the most detailed evaluation to date of access to jobs by transit, and it allows for a direct comparison of the transit accessibility performance of America's largest metropolitan areas.

Auto Data
These data sets were created as part of the Access Across America: Auto 2018 study that examined the accessibility to jobs by auto in the 50 largest (by population) metropolitan areas in the United States. The data available describes access to jobs by auto in the states of Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, and Virginia, and the metropolitan areas within these states.
Bike Data
These data sets were created as part of the Access Across America: Biking 2019 study, that examined the accessibility to jobs by bicycling in the 50 largest (by population) metropolitan areas in the United States. It is the most detailed evaluation to date of access to jobs by biking, and incorporates a Level of Traffic Stress analysis to allow calculation of access to jobs on bike networks of different traffic stress tolerances.
Walking Data
This data was created as part of the Access Across America: Walking 2014 study, which estimated the accessibility to jobs by walking in the 50 largest (by population) metropolitan areas in the United States.
