Report cards to improve public transport's accessibility

摘要

A research project to develop a methodology for auditing the accessibility of public transport routes has produced an easy-to-use report card suitable for use by operators and local authorities. Drawing on international experience and consultation with local stakeholders, the project has developed and piloted a New Zealand-specific methodology for auditing public transport routes and corridors. Carolyn O'Fallon of Pinnacle Research who developed the methodology says, To audit the accessibility of a journey, you need to take into account all the steps that a person needs to take to get from their home to their destination, then home again.
