Accessibility

In transport, accessibility refers to the peoples’ ability to reach goods, services, activities and destinations from a given location, using the available transportation system. Many factors affect accessibility, including the transport needs and abilities of individuals, the quality of the transport options, the connectivity of the various links and modes, the land use patterns, and the quality/costs of alternative solutions (Litman, 2012). Transport accessibility impacts immensely on both the economy and human development, as improved accessibility to transport can facilitate the achievement of many economic, social and environmental objectives.
