Abstract:Livability is primarily concerned with issues such as transportation choices, neighborhood character
and access to destinations, affordability, and maintaining cohesive rural, urban and suburban
communities. As transportation agencies work toward addressing livability goals, it is important that
they monitor their progress. Performance measurement is highly relevant in this context and can help
transportation agencies better understand and apply livability concepts and enhance decision making
processes. The aim of this project was to plan and conduct a workshop or conference on transportation
and livability performance measures, involving researchers and transportation practitioners from
different agencies in the U.S. The conference was held in Austin, Texas, from September 7–8, 2012,
with over 130 attendees who participated in plenary sessions, breakout sessions, and interactive
discussions. The conference was co-sponsored by the Transportation Research Board, by the Center
for Transportation Studies at the University of Minnesota, and TTI’s Transportation Economics
Center. The outcome of the conference was summarized in conference proceedings, published at:
http://utcm.tamu.edu/LivabilityConference/proceedings/documents/Conference_Summary.pdf. This
report summarizes the work performed and results achieved in planning and implementing this
conference.
