DETERMINING PRIORITIES FOR PASSENGER TRANSPORT FUNDING: THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT APPROACH

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to define a set of readily applicable techniques for measuring the distribution of passenger transport needs within Australian cities. Planners are often faced with conflicting demands for limited passenger transport resources. These techniques assist in placing priorities on demands in one part of the city compared to others based on travel needs. An international review of techniques used to define and measure transport need is outlined and specific methodology developed for Australian cities using readily available census and planning data. The paper describes how these techniques have been applied in New South Wales, South Australia and Eastern Australia. It also outlines benefits and problems with the method and potential applications. (A) For the covering entry of this conference, see IRRD abstract number 849214.
