The FDOT Source Book: Job Accessibility by Auto

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT or Department) has identified processed, authoritative datasets to support the preliminary spatial analysis of equity considerations. These processed datasets are available at larger geographies, such as the United States Census Bureau tract or county-level; however, additional raw datasets from other sources can be used to identify equity considerations. Most of this raw data is available at the Census block group, parcel, or point-level—but additional processing is required to make suitable for spatial analysis. For more information, contact Dana Reiding with the FDOT Forecasting and Trends Office (FTO). The Job Accessibility by Auto dataset represents a “cumulative opportunity” metric—it reflects the total number of jobs reachable by auto within a travel time threshold. The FDOT Source Book reports the number of 2018 and 2019 jobs accessible by transit within 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-, and 60-minute automobile commute thresholds. Travel times are calculated using a detailed road network and speed data that reflect typical conditions for an 8 a.m. Wednesday morning departure. Additionally, the accessibility results for 8 a.m. are compared with the maximum accessibility results across the 24-hour period to estimate the impact of road and highway congestion on job accessibility. Estimates for 2018 and 2019 are shown by county and state boundaries. This data is owned and managed by FDOT FTO.
