The sustainability challenges posed by America's automobile-based transport system demand a transition toward more accessible urban areas. Accessibility planning at the neighborhood scale involves improving both non-automobile mobility and the range of services offered within a community. Reflecting the complex system dynamics influencing neighborhood travel behavior and the context of local access needs, we employ the Sustainability Solution Space (SSP) method to envision a sustainable state of transportation accessibility for the Sky Harbor neighborhood of central Phoenix, Arizona. This case study explores the suitability of the SSP methodology for sustainable visioning exercises, recommending its use for participatory transportation planning studies.
