21. Why Use this Tool?
1. Global and Local Tracking Framework
• City-wide indicators
• Benchmarking across cities
• SDGs
2. Transport and Land Use Planning
• Quick and simple modeling tool to guide planning decisions
• Move towards a data-driven and evidence-based planning
3. Investment Prioritization

22. Accessibility tool
• Simple planning tool to quantify urban accessibility
• This tool leverages digital, open, and standardized data
• Road Network: OpenStreetMap
• Transit Network: General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS)
• Population
• Opportunities: Jobs, schools, health centers, parks
• The tool then combines the estimated travel times for each of the chosen travel
modes and location data for employment opportunities (or other opportunity inputs)
to calculate the accessibility value for every point in the city for a given time
threshold.

23. Improving Planning
• For example, you can estimate accessibility to:
• Employment Opportunities
• Schools, Education Centers
• Health Centers
• Entertainment Centers and Green Areas
• Shopping Centers
• As well as the accessibility under different transportation scenarios, for example:
• Route reorganization
• New infrastructure
• Different levels of service and operations
