- Access Catchment
- Urban planning. The walkshed or pedestrian shed — the population within a 5- or 10-minute walk of a transit stop on the actual street network — is the routine instrument of transit-equity analysis, and generalises to bus, rail, and ferry catchments.
This sourceCodifies transit-oriented development around the pedestrian shed — the population within a roughly five-minute (quarter-mile) walk of a transit stop — as the unit of transit-access analysis, with the walk-time horizon a chosen design parameter.

Domain-specific¶
- Pedestrian Shed
- The conventional thresholds are five minutes (approximately 400 metres or a quarter-mile) for everyday destinations and transit stops in walkable-neighbourhood design, and ten minutes (approximately 800 metres or a half-mile) for regional transit stations serving commuter catchments
This sourceCalthorpe's transit-oriented development standard, which fixes the walkable boundary by the quarter-mile 'comfortable walking distance' and places housing within a half-mile of transit.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
