This point layer displays the Central Business District (CBD) of Chicago, Illinois, United States as a point corresponding to the location of its city hall. For the compactness metrics, the proximity index measures the relative closeness of all locations in the city to its center. To calculate the proximity index, the Equal Area Circle was defined as a circle with an area equal to that of the urban footprint centered at the city's city hall within the CBD. This data is part of the Atlas of Urban Expansion.

The Transit Availability Index (formerly known as the Transit Accessibility Index) is an index measuring access to transit. The index is made up of 4 sub-indices: transit frequency, transit connectivity, sidewalk density, and transit proximity. The focus of the index is on examining how well the transit system as a whole serves the region. The index is not intended to reflect the actual transit service conditions one may encounter on a specific transit trip. It is also not intended as a means to evaluate the performance of the various transit operators nor is it a suitable tool for such an evaluation. For this analysis, transit service attributes are summed at the subzone-level geography for the seven-county region. Subzones are quarter-section sized geographies that CMAP uses for household and employment forecasting; generally they are ½ mile by ½ mile square throughout the region. Subzones in the Chicago Central Business District (CBD) are generally ¼ mile by ¼ mile square due to the densities of activities and the street network in that area.The original index was created in 2010 for the GO TO 2040 plan update. "In anticipation of the GO TO 2040 plan update, CMAP staff developed a new method of measuring access to transit as a means of determining the percentage of regional population and jobs with access to transit, one of the plan’s indicators for measuring the progress of plan implementation. This new method, the Transit Accessibility Index, severed as a uniform measure of transit level of service available during an average week. It permits us to track changes in transit level of service over time and present the results in an intuitive fashion. It also offers a universal comparison of the different service levels offered across the region. The inherent loss of some of the nuances in localized service is balanced against the ability of the index to provide a relatively simple way to compare transit service over a large area over time. This index also adheres to a number of tenets CMAP staff used in developing a revised set of performance measures for the GO TO 2040 plan update: principally that the indicator use actual observed data rather than modeled values, that it is widely comprehensible and that the data are updated with sufficient frequency for the index to serve as a reasonable access to transit index benchmark for measuring progress.”The 2023 update of transit availability is a continuation of these efforts using 2019 data. One notable change is that the Pedestrian Environment Factor is no longer used as a measurement of transit availability. Rather, we have replaced this sub-index with sidewalk density. Another notable change is that the 2017 subzones were used for this analysis, whereas previous iterations used the 2009 subzones. As such, it is not suggested to directly compare the new transit availability index with previous versions of transit availability/accessibility.Transit Availability Index, Indicator Methodology Excerpt

The Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS) 1990 Household Travel Survey was a self-administered mail-out mail-back survey. The purpose of the study was to update existing data on travel patterns and characteristics of Chicago residents. CATS surveyed the region on a county-by-county basis with the Chicago Central Business District in collaboration with the Urban Transportation Center of the University of Illinois. The study gathered demographic and travel behavior data from residents of northeastern Illinois who were 14 years old or older. 19,314 households participated in the survey. The study focused on non-work travel by motorized vehicle and by foot, and residents recorded their trips on a single travel day. Transportation-related variables include trip origin and destination, trip purpose, travel time, mode of travel used, vehicle occupancy, and walking distance (if that transit mode was involved).
