Sustainable transportation indicators: a recommended program to define a standard set of indicators for sustainable transportation planning

This paper, developed through a cooperative effort by the Transportation Research Board's Sustainable Transportation Indicators Subcommittee, identifies indicators that can be used for sustainable transportation evaluation. The paper discusses sustainable transportation definitions and concepts, describes factors to consider when selecting indictors, recommends specific sustainable transportation indicators, and discusses issues of data quality. It is hoped that these recommendations will be endorsed by TRB and other professional organizations, leading to the establishment of a standardized set of sustainable transportation indictors for worldwide use.
