Last month, I used arf’s network modification capabilities to develop a small restructure of King County Metro’s transit network in Seattle.

A useful access analysis tool should allow analyzing hypothetical transit networks, not just existing ones.

As a transit rider in Seattle, ten years ago was an exciting time.

Last August, I presented a map that could quickly show sector-centered access.

I’ve spend much of January improving arf’s performance.

Arf is a new tool for generating unweighted access analyses, like the ones seen in this blog.

This is a proposal to use Interstate 5 between Northeast Northgate Way and the Spokane Street Viaduct as the “second downtown tunnel” planned for Seattle in the Sound Transit 3 project (ST3).

In Human Transit, Jarrett Walker describes his consulting work as being a domain expert who asks communities questions about the transit networks that they want to build.

I’ve been revisiting Jarrett Walker’s book Human Transit1.

A network-wide access map colors sectors, uniform areas of a region, according to an access score.

This year, my proposed, in-service time neutral restructure of transit in Seattle is appearing in Seattle Transit Blog.
