Made a few maps illustrating the impact of transit frequency on non-work access to destinations in the Sacramento area.
Map of the greater Sacramento region showing the difference in access to destinations by transit between the 5th percentile travel time scenario and 95th percentile scenario, expressed as a percent decrease. Map illustrates where lower-frequency parts of the network lead to lower non-work access to destinations. These areas include the outer reaches of Elk Grove, West Sacramento, and Folsom, amongst others.

Map of the greater Sacramento region showing the difference in access to destinations by transit between the 5th percentile travel time scenario and 95th percentile scenario, expressed as a raw difference. Map illustrates where lower-frequency parts of the network lead to lower non-work access to destinations. Since this map shows the raw decrease, the areas with the greatest difference are those with the highest transit access to begin with, such as areas along the light rail network.
