Transit Triumph or Traffic Tangle? Evaluating Los Angeles’ Transit Equity for the 2028 Car-Free Olympics

This project assesses the feasibility of a “car-free” 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where all venue access relies on public transport. Using the Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) method, it analyzes accessibility, evaluating infrastructure, population density, and socioeconomic factors. By mapping the accessibility index (AI) across neighborhoods, the study examines whether the transit network can support the event. Future directions explore equity in access and the long-term transportation legacy of the Games.

Foursquare Open Source Places - POI Data Processing

Foursquare Open Source Places (FSQ OS Places) is a high-quality, open POI (Points of Interest) dataset released by Foursquare, containing over 104 million POIs worldwide. While platforms like OpenStreetMap (OSM) and Overture Maps aim to improve open POI coverage, FSQ OS Places provides a more extensive and precise dataset. This repository provides a step-by-step guide on downloading POI data and converting it from GeoJSON to Shapefile (SHP) for use in ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and other GIS applications.
