This paper aims to develop an approach based on traditional methods to quantify job accessibili-ty, which tailors to the urban transportation characteristics in China. By comparing four commonly used ac-cessibility evaluation models, the paper takes Nanjing as an example to develop job accessibility models for travels by car and bus in the old towns, as well as the job accessibility model for the new urban area, so as to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of job accessibility. Results show that job accessibility in the main urban area of Nanjing improves as travel distance increases, and the degree of improvement gradually reduces. Job accessibility for travels by bus is lower than that by car, especially in Nanjing subur-ban areas. Due to job-housing imbalance and lack of transportation corridors, job accessibility of the new urban area is far lower than that of the old towns. Finally, the paper proposes measures for improving job accessibility of different areas in Nanjing by referring experience from international cities development.
