About this Application
This is an application demonstrating how far one can travel by foot, public transit (rail only) and driving over a fixed period of time ("isochrone").
Travelshed currently uses data from New York City's MTA and in the San Francisco region uses BART and Caltrain. Walking will work throughout the US and walk+transit will work only in New York City and the San Francisco bay area.
Each color represents fifteen minutes of travel time.
Note that time of day strongly influences the possible travelshed-- public transit is less frequent in the evening than peak travel times.
Driveshed is not day or time dependent. Many thanks to OpenStreetMap for use in the Mapfluence base map and the mega-compiled graph of nodes and vertices. Reverse geocoding provided by the Yahoo! Placefinder API.
This application was created in Modest Maps and performs optimally in Google Chrome or Safari. Unfortunately Microsoft's Internet Explorer does not (yet!) support Canvas so this browser is not recommended for the full experience. Firefox is slow to load the application.
