Rationale and Analysis

Why We Measure This

Complete communities aim to meet the basic needs of all residents with easy access. To track how well we are helping our residents to carry out daily trips with more options other than driving a car.

How We Measure It

The City’s Transportation, Geographic Information System, and Sustainability teams are collaborating to develop a method. The goal is to calculate the percentage of residents that could follow 800 meters of safe walking route to basic daily needs destinations. If successful, the City will pursue similar calculations for transit and bike routes.
