This bill directs the Department of Transportation to establish an accessibility data pilot program.

The purpose of the pilot program is to develop or procure an accessibility data set and make such data available for states and metropolitan or rural planning organizations to improve their transportation planning by

  • measuring the level of access to important destinations such as jobs, health care facilities, child care services, educational and workforce training facilities, affordable housing, and food sources;
  • disaggregating the level of access by multiple transportation modes by a variety of population categories, including minority populations;
  • assessing the change in accessibility that would result from new transportation investments; and
  • providing data necessary to prioritize transportation investments that will improve access by all modes of travel.
