### Accessibility in Peri-Urban Area  
The access to the different mobility services in peri-urban areas can be seen in Table 3. The transport service with the greatest accessibility is the intercity bus, with an accessibility rate of 28.58%. On the other hand, the urban bus (EMT) is the mobility service with the worst accessibility of all those analysed in the peri-urban area, with only 7.48% of the population living in this area having a stop less than 5 min from their residence.  
The results for the different modes of transport can be seen in the following sections. Each map shows the municipalities that make up the study area and the location of the population areas within each of them. These areas are shown in green if they have a stop or station of a mobility service less than 5 min away, and in red otherwise.  
Intercity bus access population. The intercity bus accessibility to Valencia's peri-urban area is 28.58% (222,224 inhabitants). This is the mobility service with the greatest accessibility in the study area. Figure 13 shows that the municipalities with the best accessibility to this service are those located to the west of the city of Valencia.

Metro access population. The metro access to Valencia's peri-urban area is 22.17% (172,346 inhabitants), the second-best transport service in the study area. Figure 14 shows that the population with the greatest accessibility is concentrated, in this case, in the municipalities located to the northwest of the city, especially in the population areas close to the city's entrances and exits.

Train access population. The train accessibility to Valencia's peri-urban area is 7.55% (58,682 inhabitants). The population with the best access to this transport service is found in isolated population areas to the south and north of the city, as shown in Figure 15. This is due to the few separate train stations that have been established.

Urban bus access population. The urban bus (PTO-EMT) accessibility to Valencia peri-urban area is 7.48% (58,120 inhabitants). This is the mobility service with the worst accessibility in the study area. The population with access to an urban bus stop is mainly located in the municipalities adjacent to the city, close to the main entrances and exits of Valencia (Figure 16).

Global. The global accessibility to the Valencia peri-urban area is 46.33% (360,241 inhabitants), indicating that less than half of the inhabitants in the study area have access to a stop or station of at least one of the mobility services mentioned above. This population is mainly concentrated in the municipalities adjacent to the city, as shown in Figure 17 in green. Thus, the population without access to mobility services in Valencia's peri-urban area is 53.67% (417,238 inhabitants), generally located in the outlying areas of the city of Valencia, as shown in Figure 17 in red.
