A new report from the University of Minnesota shows that New York City has the easiest access to jobs across all major metropolitan areas in the Nation.
This report examines accessibility to jobs by transit in 49 of the 50 largest (by population) metropolitan areas in the United States. Transit is used for an estimated 5 percent of commuting trips in the United States, making it the second most widely used commute mode after driving. This report complements Access Across America: Auto 2015, a report of job accessibility by auto in 51 metropolitan areas and follows the Access Across America: Transit 2014 report. A separate publication, Access Across America: Transit 2015 Methodology, describes the data and methodology used in this evaluation.
Other top-ranked cities include San Francisco, Chicago and Atlanta.
Check out the full report for more info and methodology.
