Benchmarking Accessibility in Cities: Measuring the Impact of Proximity and Transport Performance

Itf

No 68, International Transport Forum Policy Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This report presents a new urban accessibility framework. It identifies which destinations can be reached on foot, by bicycle, public transport or car within a certain time (accessibility). It then measures how many destinations are close by (proximity). The comparison between accessible destinations and nearby destinations shows how well each transport mode performs (transport performance). These three indicators are calculated for destinations such as schools, hospitals, food shops, restaurants, people, recreational opportunities and green spaces in 121 cities in 30 European countries.
