ATTACHMENT <br />Transportation <br />HUD's Job Proximity Index, shown in Table 9, can be used to show transportation needs <br />geographically. Block groups with lower jobs proximity indices are located further from <br />employment opportunities and have a higher need for transportation. Availability of efficient, <br />affordable transportation can be used to measure fair housing and access to opportunities. SCAG <br />developed a mapping tool for High Quality Transit Areas (HQTA) as part of the Connect SoCal <br />2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). SCAG <br />defines HQTAs as areas within one-half mile from a major transit stop and a high -quality transit <br />corridor. This section also utilizes All Transit metrics to identify transportation opportunities in <br />Orange County and Santa Ana. <br />Regional Trend <br />All Transit explores metrics that reveal the social and economic impact of transit, specifically <br />looking at connectivity, access to jobs, and frequency of service. Orange County's All Transit <br />Performance score is 4.2, compared to the cities of Orange (5.1), Garden Grove (5.5), Anaheim <br />(4.9) Tustin (4.8), and Costa Mesa (5.4). Orange County All Transit metrics are shown in Figure <br />50. The County's All Transit score indicates a low combination of trips per week and number of <br />jobs accessible, enabling few people to take transit to work. All Transit estimates 99.0 percent of <br />jobs and 87.4 percent of workers in Orange County are located within '/ a mile from transit. <br />Figure 50 — Orange County Transit Score <br />p i• <br />\vl , Show Transl[Pgerrles{33j <br />4 <br />!O`yy .l�reca�Cc-.�_+_1�Nnvra in map <br />Overall transit sca re that looks at wnnectivi[g aaeu to jobs, aM Irequenq of servke <br />■.1 M1-2 024 M45 es5 0.7 Zi 3. <br />As shown in Figure 52, block groups around southern and eastern Santa Ana, northern Costa <br />Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach, and Orange have the highestjobs proximity index scores, indicating <br />employment opportunities are most accessible in these areas. Central county areas, from central <br />to western Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Westminster, Stanton, and parts of Huntington Beach have <br />the lowest jobs proximity index scores. <br />Ordinance No. NS-3075 <br />
