Abstract
Food banks provide an essential lifeline for those experiencing food insecurity. In Toronto, Canada, 21 new food bank locations opened between February, 2020 and May, 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we measure and map how this has improved public transit accessibility to food banks, with a focus on improvements among low-income residents. We find that the percent of low-income residents that can reach a food bank within a 20 minute one-way transit trip improved from 50% to 60% during this time period.
