Providing sustainable transport systems is a key indicator of sustainable cities and communities. When key destinations are appropriately serviced by multiple modes and frequent and reliable services are provided, sustainable modes can be made the easy and natural choice for all users.
Mode Share is the measure of the proportion of people who choose to use sustainable transport including walking, riding a bicycle, or using public transport to complete their journeys. Mode Share is one of the core indicators used to assess the built environment.
Practitioners can use the sustainable mode share on the existing area or on the existing link metricto measure the breakdown of mode choice for a set area in which people reside or depart from, or by the area where people travel to or arrive at the end of their journey.
