The proximity of a resident to a major employment area helps measure the likelihood for employees to walk, bike and/or use public transit to get to work. Having public transit stops, sidewalks and bike lanes close to employment areas encourages the residents of a neighborhood to use alternative transportation, increasing physical activity and good health.
