“…Caracterização da mobilidade sustentável e seus atributos A medição tradicional da mobilidade ressalta, principalmente, a quantidade de viagens, valorizando modalidades mais rápidas, e, consequentemente, o uso de automóveis (Litman, 2015 d. Justa socialmente: apresenta qualidade de serviço para todos e se realiza com tempos aceitáveis, principalmente, nas viagens a trabalho e ao ensino, proporcionando condições das pessoas desfrutarem outras atividades e oportunidades, fundamentais para a qualidade de vida e o bem estar social (Welch & Mishra, 2013); e. Verde: pressupõe o compromisso com viagens baseadas em meios de transportes amigáveis ambientalmente, com energia limpa e em condições focadas na redução da poluição atmosférica, sonora, das emissões de gases de efeito de estufa (Porter et al, 2013).…”

“…Para a escala macroscópica sugere-se o uso dos indicadores simples e inspirados em Hansen (1959), que possam refletir a influência da disponibilidade de infraestrutura de transporte público e medir o grau de equidade proporcionado por ela para as diferentes localidades que compõem o território (Welch & Mishra, 2013). O mesmo se aplica aos indicadores de acessibilidade que possam incluir também a influência das atividades disponíveis em cada localidade, tornando a representação da acessibilidade mais compatível com o desejo de modelar a integração transporte/ uso do solo.…”

“…Therefore, future investigations should consider the value of each stop in terms of the attraction of the possible destinations, in addition to taking into account service capacity and frequency [55,56] as well as impedance measurements between origins and destinations [57][58][59]. Even more complex approaches could be developed in the future for the Costa Daurada tourist destination as a whole to measure the efficiency of public transport systems, taking into account fares, schedules, capacity, frequency and other features of the system through measures of transit connectivity as proposed by several authors [60][61][62][63][64].…”

This article develops a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness and spatial coverage of public transport in tourist cities. The proposed methodology is applied and validated in Cambrils municipality, in the central part of the Costa Daurada in Catalonia, a coastal destination characterised by the concentration of tourism flows during summer. The application of GIS spatial analysis tools allows for the development of a system of territorial indicators that spatially correlate the public transport network and the distribution of the population. The main novelty of our work is that this analysis not only includes the registered resident population, but also incorporates the population that temporarily inhabits the municipality (tourists). The results of the study firstly permit the detection of unequal spatial accessibility and coverage in terms of public transport in the municipality, with significant differences between central neighbourhoods and peripheral urban areas of lower population density. Secondly, they allow observation of how the degree of public transport coverage differs significantly in areas with a higher concentration of tourist accommodation establishments.

“…MPOs have used a variety of methods to examine accessibility. Some MPOs measure accessibility by transit network coverage and connectivity, while others measure accessibility in terms of a particular type of destination, such as employment (Welch & Mishra, 2013;Welch, 2013;Currie, 2010;Mamun, Lownes, Osleeb & Bertolaccini, 2013). Still others use a combination of methods.…”

Sponsoring Agency Code Supplementary Notes AbstractMetropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) have long been required to consider the equity implications of their regional transportation plans and processes. Funded by the National Institute for Transportation and Communities, this research aims to provide additional guidance to MPOs on how to evaluate distributional equity in regional plans and projects. The report begins with an overview of federal requirements related to equity in transportation planning. We then synthesize contemporary methods for measuring transportation equity and the distributional effects of plans and projects from a review of the literature and MPO plans and studies. The report concludes with exploratory case studies of equity analysis in two regions representing distinctly different planning contexts and stages of addressing equity, and a summary of key methods to serve as a resource for use by MPOs in integrating equity into the regional transportation planning process. We also thank the following for their helpful responses to our queries during the project. Doug Johnson, the Principal Transportation Planner for Land Use and Social Equity, and Vikrant Sood, Senior Planner, both of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Bay Area (San Francisco, CA); Richard Marcantonio, the managing attorney for Public Advocates, Inc., specializing in civil rights advocacy and transportation equity; and Alex Karner, the assistant professor for the School of City and Regional Planning at the Georgia Institute of Technology, an equity analysis specialist.Finally, the authors acknowledge the efforts of Graduate Research Assistants Joshua Barber, Austin Gibble, Monica Martin, and Katherine Selin, for their extensive efforts in reviewing literature and MPO long-range transportation plans and studies, assisting with case study documentation, and cataloguing practices for inclusion in the final report. DISCLAIMERThe contents of this report reflect the views of the authors, who are solely responsible for the facts and the accuracy of the material and information presented herein. This document is disseminated under the sponsorship of the U.S. LIST OF TABLES LIST OF FIGURES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction and ObjectivesMetropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) have long been required to consider the equity implications of their regional transportation plans and processes. Federal law and guidance relative to Title VI and Environmental Justice requires MPOs to engage historically disadvantaged communities in the planning process, to address the equity effects of MPO plans and projects, and to systematically incorporate these analyses into their planning processes. Despite widespread evidence that MPOs are making efforts to address equity goals, the role of equity analysis in shaping long-range transportation plans and project decisions is often unclear and undefined. More guidance is needed on best practice methods and performance measures for addressing equity in a regional transport...
