Abstract: 
The Temporal Distance Mapping tool creates a visual representation in which distance on the map represents travel time rather than physical distance. Utilizing travel data, we morph the shape of any mapped region to accurately depict travel time. Although two destinations on a traditional map may have the same physical distance, the travel time may be orders of magnitude different due to barriers or access to public transportation. This map better represents access to the surrounding area, and also provides a compelling visual representation to understand the local community in the context of what matters most to them - their time.
