SLIDE 24

Evaluation Categories

Category Description Mobility

Measures the benefits and impacts of the project to users of the corridor’s transportation network, including transit users, auto drivers and passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Environmental (Social/community)

Measures the benefits and impacts of the project on health, safety, community cohesion, economics, heritage, and the

  • verall built environment.

Environmental (Natural)

Measures the benefits and impacts of the project on the natural environment

Fiscal

Measures the benefits and impacts of the project on individual users, implementing agencies, and the region as a whole.

Urban Form

Measures the benefits and impacts of the project on local land uses and the urban environment.

Deliverability

Measures broad issues associated with delivering or implementing a project, including technical or engineering challenges in building or operating the project, likely construction impacts, and the level of community and stakeholder acceptance.
