• 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.
