1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • obtaining transit information identifying a plurality of transit access points within a geographical area;

    determining a plurality of locations within the geographical area on which to conduct a location assessment;

    for each location of the plurality of locations, conducting the location assessment, wherein conducting the location assessment comprises;

    inspecting the transit information for the geographical area to determine transit access points within a threshold distance of the location;

    for each transit access point of at least some of the transit access points, assigning a weighted value to the transit access point based at least in part on;

    a distance between the location and the transit access point, anda frequency of service on a transit route servicing the transit access point; and

    combining the weighted values into a location score for the location;

    storing the location score for each location of the plurality of locations within a memory as location score information for the geographical area;

    receiving from a computing device, over a communication network, a request for information regarding the geographical area;

    transmitting to the computing device, over the communication network, interface instructions configured to output an interface enabling selection of a location from the plurality of locations within the geographical area;

    receiving an indication of the location made within the interface;

    retrieving the location score of the indicated location, as stored in the memory; and

    transmitting the location score of the indicated location to the computing device.
