Performance measures concerning social and economic sustainability for public transportation have been issued in a guidance document developed under the Transit Cooperative Research Program. The document, TCRP Research Report 205: Social and Economic Sustainability Performance Measures for Public Transportation: Final Guidance Document, is intended to help transit agencies plan, evaluate, and report on the social and economic dimensions of sustainability, as a complement the environmental performance measures that transit sustainability reports primarily focus on. The document identifies top social and economic sustainability performance measures and transit service measures that address community building and engagement, economic impacts, employees and workforce, financial considerations, accessibility, and safety and emergency preparedness.
