Mobility and Accessibility

Mobility refers to the ability of people to move freely and efficiently within a city, using various modes of transportation such as cars, buses, trains, or bicycles. Accessibility, on the other hand, focuses on how easily individuals can reach desired destinations, like jobs, schools, and services, regardless of their mode of transport. In urban transportation geography, effective mobility and accessibility ensure that all residents can travel where they need to go, ultimately influencing social equity, economic opportunities, and overall quality of life in urban areas.
