The nation's 49 largest cities were ranked by the study, which ranked New York No. 1 in the country, followed by San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, Los Angeles,. Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and San Jose.
"Transit is an essential transportation service for many Americans, and we directly compare the accessibility performance of America’s largest metropolitan areas," said Andrew Owen, director of Accessibility Observatory at the University of Minnesota, in a statement.
According to the report, Denver's grew its transit-oriented job base by 5.14 percent from 2015 to 2016, the 14th-highest growth rate in the country.
"Seattle and Denver both have rapidly expanding light rail systems, supported by extensive and frequent bus networks," according to the report.
