Abstract:
Sustainable transportation can be viewed as the provision of safe, effective, and efficient

access and mobility into the future while considering economic, social, and environmental

needs. For the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to assess options and monitor

progress toward achieving the goals of sustainable transportation it is essential that the

underlying sustainability-related goals and objectives be quantified and applied to project,

corridor, and network levels for planning, operation, and maintenance.

In recognition of this need, TxDOT sponsored research under project 0-5541 “Developing

Sustainable Transportation Measures for TxDOT’s Strategic Plan.” The overall goal of this

project was to develop sustainable transportation performance measures for TxDOT’s

strategic goals and objectives as well as a framework for TxDOT to implement a sustainable

transportation system in Texas. The end result of this framework is a user-friendly analysis

tool developed in Microsoft Excel® to serve as a platform for evaluating the performance

measures and combining them into a final sustainability index.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the User’s Manual for Sustainable Transportation

Performance Measures Calculator. This chapter also highlights the intended audience for

the material and lists the remaining chapters in this user’s manual.
