How to capture accessibility benefits in transport planning

This session examines how transport project appraisal can better capture accessibility and make it a central criterion for planning decisions. Ensuring good access for all citizens is increasingly becoming a strategic goal of transport policy, as good accessibility provides direct benefits to citizens, supports decarbonisation and makes cities more liveable. However, investments in transport will only deliver these outcomes if project appraisals are designed in a way that allows for identifying accessibility benefits and assessing them.
