Abstract:In February 2018, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the Guidebook for Measuring Multimodal Network Connectivity, which outlines approaches to integrating pedestrian and bicycle network connectivity measures into State, metropolitan, and local transportation planning processes. Multimodal networks are defined as accessible, interconnected pedestrian and bicycle transportation facilities that allow users of all ages and abilities to safely and conveniently reach their destinations. Accessibility refers to accessible facilities for individuals with disabilities. Connectivity describes the ease with which people can travel across the transportation system. The Guidebook discusses how connectivity measures can help transportation practitioners identify high priority network gaps, implement cost-effective solutions that address multiple needs, optimize potential co-benefits, and measure the long-term impacts of strategic pedestrian and bicycle investments. Measuring multimodal network connectivity can help address goals related to safety improvements, system efficiency and equity, network performance, and access to key destinations. Complete and comfortable multimodal transportation networks can also help achieve mode shift and reduce the transportation sector's carbon emissions.
