1. 4th OECD World Forum Statistics, Knowledge and Policy: Measuring Wellbeing for Development and Policy Making Jose Viegas 16-19 October 2012 in New Delhi, India

2. Proximity and transport provide access to key components of quality of life HealthEducationJobs

3. Accessibility is affected by risks for life and for personal health Traffic safetyNoise and pollution

4. We Already Benchmark Road Safety India: 135 000 killed in 2010 Per capita rate up x3 in last 30 years Per vehicle this is 40 times higher than best in OECD 4 Road deaths per million motor vehicles 2010 ITF Stats

5. Measuring urban access Multiple indicators are possible - choice dictated by purpose and data availability Main targets of urban access are jobs, education (by advancement level), health (by sophistication level). Example: – Travel time (differentiated by mode) to reach 25% of jobs / school positions / available doctor appointments – Ratios of these indicators for private car vs. public transport vs. active modes These aspects are important not only for individual quality of life but also for social inclusion and economic development 5

6. How much time is needed to get to 25% of the jobs in my city? Lisbon (Portugal) – Example provided by Luis Martinez, Instituto Superior Técnico (2010 data) By Car By Public Transport Ratio Time by Public Transport / Time by car

7. How many jobs can I access in 30 minutes by car? Minneapolis – St. Paul, Minnesota (USA) 2005, Map by University of Minnesota Traffic Observatory

8. How many jobs can I access in 30 minutes by public transport? Minneapolis – St. Paul, Minnesota (USA) 2005, Map by University of Minnesota Traffic Observatory

9. Conclusions Accessibility is a necessary component for measuring well-being –Methods and approaches can be adjusted to data available Measurement of other transport-related components can be improved – Traffic safety risk, exposure to noise and pollution International Transport Forum can contribute to policy discussion and measurement This will lead to better policies towards inclusive well-being 9
