| Abstract | Monitoring the progress of transportation in achieving sustainability will be a complex undertaking requiring accurate and meaningful measures of all four types of indicators: Root Causes, Activity, Output, and Outcome. At present, significant areas of transportation's environmental effects are not well understood, and measures of environmental damage are incomplete and controversial. Where reasonable measures of emissions are available, there is sufficient activity data to use Divisia analysis to measure progress in reducing the environmental coefficients of transportation and determine whether technological progress is keeping pace with growth. |
