Metro Transit's Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Office contracted with Wilder Research in the fall of 2015 to conduct a study on transit-accessible child care, particularly the ability of families to access child care via public transportation. Anecdotally, the TOD Office believed many transit riders opt to stop using transit once they have kids and lower-income families who rely on transit have fewer child care options due to the location of child care relative to their homes and workplaces. The study focused on addressing the following questions, with are addressed in the following pages of the report. 1. How many child care facilities in our region are within easy walking distance of high-frequency transit stops? (See "The Twin Cities child care market" on page 2.) 2. What is the capacity and availability of open slots in these facilities relative to the number of children living in these areas? Is the "supply" of transit-accessible child care adequate? (See "Transit-accessible child care in the Twin Cities" on page 3.) 3. What barriers do transit users face in accessing child care facilities and using transit with children? (See "Transportation barriers to accessing child care" on page 10.) 4. What are potential strategies for increasing the capacity and/or quality of transit-accessible child care facilities? (See "Recommendations" on page 15.) (author abstract)
