Abstract

This project was completed as part of the 2018-2019 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with Ramsey County. Ramsey County wanted to assess the accessibility for visitors and clients of County-owned service facilities to make informed decisions about future capital investment in or relocation of these facilities to better meet the needs of the public. A graduate student in Dr. Ying Song's GEOG 8290: Urban Mobility & Accessibility course used GIS analysis to determine public transit access to several of the county's most frequently used facilities. Based on this analysis, the found that most of the City of St. Paul and the southern half of Ramsey County have good transit access to service facilities, but that first-ring and second-ring suburbs have limited transit access to such facilities. The student's final report is available.
