What factor contributes to walking convenience in a community?

Proximity to transit significantly contributes to walking convenience in a community. When public transportation options, such as buses or trains, are easily accessible, they enhance the overall mobility of residents. This encourages walking as individuals can commute to transit stops without the need for a car. Additionally, being close to transit options often means that neighborhoods are designed to be more pedestrian-friendly, with safe and accessible routes to these transit points. This connectivity not only promotes walking but can also reduce reliance on personal vehicles, leading to a more sustainable and healthy community environment. The other factors, while relevant to community planning, do not directly promote walking as effectively as transit accessibility does.
