Does better job accessibility help people gain employment?

This study examines the role of public transport accessibility in improving employment prospects in Great Britain. Using employment datasets and accessibility models, the research finds that enhanced public transport accessibility improves employment probabilities, particularly for those in metropolitan areas and low-income neighborhoods. Results suggest that job seekers in lower-income, car-restricted areas would benefit significantly from targeted public transport policies aimed at increasing accessibility to employment opportunities.
