The purpose of such an index would be to provide an indicator / measurement, of how urban transport systems in different cities compared to one another, and how the transport system developed in each individual city. The aim is to provide client cities and countries, along with the World Bank and other institutions, with some evidence-based information. It is for this reason that the Bank decided to develop a suitable index. However, urban transport has multiple dimensions, and cannot be comprehensively assessed by a single indicator. There is an acute lack of reliable data on different aspects concerning urban transport. Therefore, a compromise was decided upon, in order to develop an index that was both comprehensive and practical. The compromise required that data for the index / indicators should be easy to collect, easy to interpret and understand, and replicable from one city to another. It was also essential that the data be regularly updated and easily available. The core urban transport policy of the Bank is to help countries and cities develop policies that favor public transport and non-motorized transport modes, versus private cars and motorcycles. The outline design of the urban accessibility/mobility index explored in this feasibility stage report, has been envisaged to indeed reflect these objectives.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO JOBSACCESSIBILITYAFFORDABILITY INDEXAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYAMBIENT AIRAMBIENT AIR QUALITYAUTOMOBILESAVERAGE BUS FAREAVERAGE TRAVEL TIMEAVERAGE TRIPAVERAGE TRIP LENGTHBASIC TRANSPORTBICYCLEBUSBUS COMPANYBUS FAREBUS FLEETBUS FLEETSBUS RIDERSHIPBUS ROUTESBUS SECTORBUS STOPBUSESBUSWAYSCAPACITY BUILDINGCARCAR JOURNEYCAR OWNERSHIPCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARRIAGESCARSCHOICE OF TRANSPORTCHOICE OF TRANSPORT MODECITY BUSCITY TRANSPORTCLIMATE CHANGECOMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATIONCONGESTIONCOST PER TRIPCRASHESEMISSIONEMISSIONSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTFARESFATALITIESFLEETSFRAMEWORKGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHIGHWAYSINCOMEINJURIESISOJOURNEY TO WORKJOURNEYSMAJOR ROADSMETROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITYMETROPOLITAN TRANSPORTMETROPOLITAN TRANSPORT AUTHORITYMILEAGEMINI-BUSMINIBUSMINIBUSESMOBILITYMODAL SHAREMODAL SHARESMODES OF TRAVELMOTOR VEHICLEMOTOR VEHICLE OWNERSHIPMOTORCYCLEMOTORCYCLESNMTNONMOTORIZED TRANSPORTPARKINGPARTICULATE MATTERPASSENGER TRAFFICPASSENGER TRIPSPEAK HOURPEAK HOURSPEDESTRIANSPOLICEPOLLUTION CONTROLPRIVATE AUTOMOBILESPRIVATE VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT AFFORDABILITYPUBLIC TRANSPORT FARESPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKSPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SUPPLYPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORT TRIPSPUBLIC TRANSPORT USAGEPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONRAIL PASSENGERRAIL SAFETYRAIL TRAVELRAIL TRIPSRAILWAYRAILWAY NETWORKRIDERSHIPROADROAD ACCIDENTSROAD CASUALTIESROAD DEATHSROAD DENSITYROAD NETWORKROAD SAFETYROAD TRANSPORTROAD VEHICLESROUTEROUTESRURAL ACCESSRURAL AREASRURAL ROADSSAFETYSCHOOL BUSESSERVICE VEHICLESSPANSTREETSSUBURBAN RAILSUBURBAN TRAINSSUBURBSSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTTAXISTRAFFIC JAMSTRAFFIC VOLUMESTRAIN CARSTRAINS PER HOURTRANSIT SYSTEMTRANSIT TRIPSTRANSPORT ACCESSIBILITYTRANSPORT AFFORDABILITYTRANSPORT ANALYSISTRANSPORT CONDITIONSTRANSPORT DATATRANSPORT DATA COLLECTIONTRANSPORT EFFICIENCYTRANSPORT EXPENDITURETRANSPORT INDICATORSTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT RESEARCHTRANSPORT SAFETYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT SUSTAINABILITYTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORT SYSTEM EFFICIENCYTRANSPORT SYSTEM PERFORMANCETRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION POLICIESTRANSPORTATION STUDYTRAVEL SPEEDTRAVEL TIMETRIP RATETRIPSTRIPS BY PUBLICTRIPS PER CAPITATRIPS PER DAYTRIPS PER MONTHUNPAVED ROADSURBAN MOBILITYURBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTURBAN ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT INDICATORSURBAN TRANSPORT POLICIESURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYURBAN TRANSPORT PORTFOLIOURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECTURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECTSURBAN TRANSPORT SECTORURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMSURBAN TRAVELURBANIZATIONVEHICLESWALKINGWORK TRIPWORK TRIPS10.1596/18522
