Drive-Time Analysis in Boston for Public Schools

One analysis shows driving time within three minutes (without traffic) to public schools (shown in light blue). The second analysis shows driving time within three minutes (with traffic) to public schools (shown in light green). The second analysis has a traffic pattern that resembles typical Monday traffic conditions at 7 A.M.; usually when people are on their way to work.

Based on the map, there is an overlap between the two analyses in the center of the city, which is typically the busiest and most congested. The area for driving time with traffic to public schools is shown more than the light blue, indicating that people may use different routes that are out of the way to reach public schools during that time.

The data was collected from the "Analyze Boston" site, and ArcGIS Online was used to create the map.
