FROM MOBILITY TO ACCESIBILITY PARADIGMS 6
ACCESSIBILITY: WALKING TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT People walk farther to stations when the walking environment has certain attractive features. 7
ACCESSIBILITY: WALKING TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT Improving the walking conditions increases walking speed from 3.5km/h to 4.5 km/h 8
PLANNING CATCHMENT AREAS With improved walking conditions, people are willing to walk longer to reach a Public Transport Station, thus extending the catchment area 2 km walking around public transport stations 8 km to cycle to reach public transport stations 9
Population in catchment area ACCESSIBILITY: WALKING TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT Improvements to walking conditions help reaching more population for each available public transport station 50,000 45,000 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 2.5km/hr Walking Speed 3.5km/hr 20 min walk 30 min walk 10
