This study focused on the effects of transportation environment of community on the exercise frequency, subjective health condition and subjective well-being. We adopted accessibility as the transportation environment. The accessibility is evaluated by public transport and automobile to three types of purpose. The variable of the exercise frequency, subjective health condition and subjective well-being were collected by the questionnaire survey. We used logistic regression for the analysis of relationship between the variables, which consider the difference of the community by the multilevel analysis. The result shows the accessibility of medical facilities by public transport and by car is significant on the health condition and frequency of going out, respectively. This result implies that the improvement of the accessibility by public transport and by car may affect the health condition of the community.
