Bochner, B. and B. Storey. Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach Phase III Outreach Materials (Task 5) Performance Measures, Technical Memorandum (July 2011) unpublished. http://www.ite.org/css/Task5Memorandum.pdf
This report includes performance measures that may be useful to access management. A few examples include:
- Percent of walk distance that is in intersection and driveway crossings
- Exceptions to access management policy
- No. driveways
- Relocated
- Closed
- Combined
- With newly restricted access (lost)
- Left turn inbound
- Left turn outbound
- Throughs
- Right turns
- Adequacy of sight distances
- Stopping
- Intersection
- Decision
United States Environmental Protection Agency, Guide to Sustainable Transportation Performance Measures, prepared by ICF International, EPA 231-K-10-004 (August 2011)
This guide includes some performance measures of interest to the update, particularly as they relate to MPO prioritization practices. For example, the TIP Evaluation Measures for Bicycle/Pedestrian Projects (New Construction) in use by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) address bicycle, pedestrian and transit access considerations, as well as network connectivity.
