Rapid urbanization is putting pressure on transportation agencies to respond to an increasing demand for transportation networks with greater effectiveness and efficiency. In response, policy makers, faced with limited budgets and time constraints, are looking for tools and processes to identify priority problems in a timely and cost-effective manner. Rapid assessments can be performed with diagnostic tools that identify cities’ transportation problems within the global context. Using a series of performance indicators that are based on a review of research and practice from around the world, this paper assesses cities’ transportation networks. The performance indicators rank cities according to an overall score as well as categories of transportation performance. Such an approach allows planners to identify priority problems in the transportation network to design targeted solutions. The final results benchmark the performance of transportation systems according to the performance of the systems in peer cities with relatively similar sizes. Such a process assists with the benchmarking of performance and accounts for context so that appropriate best practices can be shared between cities around the world.
