Improved Transport: Data on Access to Jobs, Health, and Education

This act establishes a pilot program to help local and state authorities better plan transportation. With new data, citizens can gain easier access to jobs, healthcare, education, and other important services, regardless of their mode of travel. The program aims to improve quality of life through more efficient investments in transportation infrastructure.
Key points
The pilot program will collect data on how easily key destinations (jobs, hospitals, schools, food sources) can be reached by various modes of transport (car, public transit, cycling, walking).
Data will be analyzed for different population groups (e.g., low-income, minority, elderly, disabled) to better understand their transportation needs.
Information will help in making decisions about new transportation investments to improve accessibility for all citizens and ensure better connections between different modes of transport.
The data will be available to local governments and researchers, enabling further analysis and development of transportation solutions.
