Abstract This article seeks to carry out a study on the measurement of justice in transportation through the introduction of original metrics of justice that consider different currencies (travel time, energy consumption, PM emissions and NOₓ emissions) and principles of justice (Equality, Priority and Sufficiency), relying on available data from five metropolitan regions in Latin America. Based on available data from five metropolitan regions in Latin America (Brasília, Ciudad de México, Montevideo, Santiago, and São Paulo), this manuscript seeks to reduce the theoretical gap in the transport literature through the development of metrics of distributive justice based on existing Origin-Destination transport surveys, which is expected to identify the characteristics that seem to govern a fairer transport system, as well as to inform practitioners and policy makers about the conditions driving fairer urban environments. In addition to contributions to the evaluation of transport policies with data from developing countries, the discussions presented in this paper intend to provide insights into the major role of selecting the principles of justice and the distributed resources to evaluate the degrees of fairness in transportation systems.
Highlights Gap between theoretical contributions on transport justice and empirical applications Theoretical reflections provide an adequate framework for evaluating transportation Different principles of justice yield different outputs in fairness assessment Relevance of justifying the selection of relevant resources to be distributed
