Description:

Healthy, sustainable communities are those that provide a variety of options for residents, such as access to multiple types of transportation. Increasing transportation options also improves accessibility to jobs, decreases transportation costs for workers, and helps to build an improved sense of community. When people shift to alternate modes of transportation, reduced automotive emissions can result in improvements to the local air quality.

Data Source:

Data were collected in March 2009 by Arizona State University's Decision Center for a Desert City (DCDC) from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Surveys 2005-2007 for Arizona's Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
