The location of affordable housing in the United States is greatly influenced by how it is funded, and current funding criteria do not typically use comprehensive transit accessibility metrics. To show the benefits of using a comprehensive accessibility metric to locate affordable housing, this paper compares one such metric, the Transit Opportunity Index, to a simpler measure of transit access currently used by a housing agency. In this case study, the comprehensive metric showed qualitative improvements over the simpler transit access measure. It is recommended that affordable housing agencies use more comprehensive transit access metrics to evaluate the transit accessibility of affordable housing sites. These comprehensive access metrics should be incorporated directly into funding criteria, preferably as part of an objective scoring system that prioritizes accessibility.

在美国，经济适用房的位置很大程度上受其融资方式的影响，并且当前的融资标准通常不使用综合性的交通可及性指标。为了显示使用全面的无障碍度量标准来定位经济适用房的好处，本文将其中一种度量标准（过境机会指数）与住房中介机构当前使用的一种更简单的过境访问度量标准进行了比较。在本案例研究中，综合指标显示出较简单的公交出入口措施在质量上的改进。建议负担得起的住房代理机构使用更全面的过境访问指标来评估负担得起的住房场所的过境可访问性。这些全面的访问指标应直接纳入资助标准，
