Transportation systems must adapt in order to meet broader environmental objectives. Traditional transportation performance measures focused mainly on mobility and safety, but did not effectively assess sustainability. This document provides a detailed guide on how to integrate sustainability into transportation planning through twelve key performance measures. It covers various stages of decision-making-from land use visioning to long-term planning and performance monitoring-offering practical metrics, methods, and examples from transportation agencies nationwide.
