The common indicators serve to compare the performance of the system regarding specific performance indicators and to support the process of identifying best practices.

The indicators provide a general overview of the transport system in the participating cities and regions.

For this purpose a set of 39 common indicators was developed covering the following topics:
     General background information (population, area, commuters, income)
     How people travel (number and distances of trips of different groups)
     Road transport (infrastructure, vehicle ownership, investment costs and performance)
     Public transport (infrastructure, service quality, investment, costs and revenues)
     Walking (infrastructure, security, investment)
     Cycling (infrastructure and investment)
     Socio-environmental impacts (pollution, noise and accidents)

The Indicators Handbook contains the methodology sheets and recommendations (MS Word97 files), and the data input sheets (MS Excel file).
    Download: Indicators Handbook (ZIP file, 96 Ko)

A variety of performance indicators are composed out of the raw data of the 39 common indicators and sub-indicators in order to make the different cities and regions comparable.

These performance indicators help the participants to identify their strength and weaknesses and to learn from other cities, why they perform better in certain domains. Benchmarks can therefore be identified according to the levels achieved by others and enable participants to set realistic targets for their own policy.

The results of these common indicators of the full project can be downloaded here.

Some results of the common indicators of pilot project can be accessed here.
