Accessibility to Employment in Urban Areas

The mobility-deprived population (without cars) has access to only a limited number of jobs, which are within reach of public transit. On the other hand, mobile population (with cars) has access to a wider array of jobs and thus have more choice. Consequently, accessibility can be a factor of spatial opportunity as jobs may be available, but not easily accessible to a segment of the population.
