3.1 Overview <br />Santa Ana is one of the most densely populated cities in Orange Coun- <br />ty. According to the American Community Survey by the U.S. Census <br />Bureau, 44% of residents are under the age of 30, 2.5% of workers 16 <br />and up are without a car, and 1.5% use public transportation as means <br />of transportation to work. This Santa Ana Vision Zero Plan aims to as- <br />sist those with and without access to a motor vehicle. <br />A quick comparison of transportation modes used by people living <br />in Santa Ana and adjacent cities is shown in Table 3-1. As shown in <br />the table, Santa Ana has the highest percentage of people who re- <br />port commuting to work using transit (after Anaheim), but fewer people <br />commuting by bike or on foot than Irvine or Anaheim. This may be due <br />to Irvine's extensive bike network and the high student population in <br />Irvine. <br />Table 3-1: Mode of Transportation Comparison with Adjacent Cities <br />Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, Table S0801: <br />Commuting Characteristics by Sex <br />Another comparison tool is the "WalkScore" webpage, a free service <br />available to the general public to compare the level of access to ame- <br />nities and destinations via various transportation modes. WalkScore <br />determines an areas accessibility per mode on a scale of 1 to 100, <br />where higher scores deem a place to be more "walkable, bikeable, <br />or transit -friendly." Table 3-2 includes a comparison of walk, bike, and <br />transit access in adjacent cities as of February 2023. As shown in the <br />comparison table, Santa Ana scores favorably in most categories com- <br />pared to nearby cities. The WalkScore webpage describes Santa Ana <br />as having "some public transportation, and is somewhat bikeable. The <br />most walkable Santa Ana neighborhoods are Downtown, Willard, and <br />Eastside" <br />Santa Ana <br />ScoreCity Walk <br />67 <br />Bike Score <br />62 <br />Transit Score <br />43 <br />Irvine <br />43 <br />69 <br />26 <br />Orange <br />51 <br />53 <br />32 <br />Anaheim <br />56 <br />52 <br />34 <br />Table 3-2: WalkScore Comparison with Adjacent Cities <br />Figures 3-1 through 3-3 show the maps provided by the website Walk- <br />Score.com.
