Why is it hard for Public transit to reach more than 25% of jobs ?
Employment by Zip Code
80 % of jobs are in low density areas, outside the city center.
Red numbers are employment, by zip code, in thousands.
High density city center has 50,000 jobs
BUT the group of yellow zip codes has more than 50,000 jobs.
Most jobs are in zip codes that have fewer than 3000 jobs per square mile
Public transit needs to serve 300 sq miles of service area, not just the city center
