Summary: The commenter suggests that the "Family Friendly Transit" dashboard should include metrics for the quality of transit connections and "last mile" accessibility. They argue that transit success should be measured by the proximity to amenities like shops and dining, as well as the availability of safe bike lanes and bike shares.
The dashboard should also address quality of connections, even if the train is on time if it drops you into a parking lot of a strip mall, that's a low quality connection. If it drops you next to a water front with access to shops and dining that's high quality. It should also measure its last mile connections. You want to get off your bus and if you need to walk or bike further, to have access to bike shares and safe sidewalks or dedicated bike lanes.
