A Transportation Sustainability Index for Urban Communities
A Transportation Sustainability Index has been developed to assess the extent of transportation sustainability in an urban development. The index is based on sustainability indicators in six categories, namely: 1) Pedestrian infrastructure; 2) Bicycle infrastructure; 3) Transit infrastructure; 4) Mixed-use and transit-oriented developments; 5) Traffic calming measures; and 6) Sustainable operations. The procedure has been applied to three city developments in north Texas. The index can be used as a sustainability audit tool to assist communities in assessing where they stand in terms of sustainability of their transportation systems and what additional steps they can take to become more transportation sustainable.
