• Abstract:
  This report summarizes previous phases of the Access to Destinations project and applies the techniques developed ; over the course of the project to conduct an evaluation of accessibility in the Twin Cities metropolitan region for ; 2010. It describes a methodology that can be used to implement future evaluations of accessibility, including a ; discussion of the development and use of software tools created for this evaluation. The goal of the 2010 ; accessibility evaluation is twofold: it seeks both to generate an accurate representation of accessibility in 2010, and ; to identify data sources, methods, and metrics that can be used in future evaluations. The current focus on ; establishing replicable data sources and methodology in some cases recommends or requires changes from those ; used in previous Access to Destinations research. In particular, it is important to standardize data sources and ; parameters to ensure comparability between multiple evaluations over time. This evaluation recommends data ; sources and methodology that provide a good representation of actual conditions, that are based on measurements ; rather than models that provide a reasonable expectation of continuity in the future and that are usable with a ; minimum of manual processing and technical expertise.
