Demand Index Access Rating for Sand Creek Regional Trail South

Text Version

A map with Sand Creek Regional Trail South in the center and the surrounding area in shaded colors of green and blue. The map shows the active transportation demand index access rating, which combines six factors into one map:

  • Population
  • Employment
  • Hospitals and Clinics
  • Retail
  • Parks
  • Schools

The Demand Index values indicate the amount of time (15-minutes) it takes to reach the nearest amenities (e.g. employment, hospitals, parks, retail, and schools). These values indicate the total number of the selected items (employment, hospitals, parks, retail, and schools) that can be accessed via the modes available to the model (walk) within preset buckets of time. The accessibility module generates these metrics using OpenStreetMap (OSM) walk, bike, and drive path data. (UrbanFootprint, 2024)
