Key Performance Indicators<br />

Effectiveness Indicator: People in the Metropolitan Region that live within ten minutes <strong>of</strong> a major public transport route<br />

In order for transport systems to be accessible, they must be located within a reasonable distance <strong>of</strong> the commuter’s dwelling. In this context, accessibility<br />

refers to both train stations and bus stops that are within 10 minutes travel time. Travel mode includes pedestrian, bicycle and car trips. For bus stops the ‘ten<br />

minutes’ is on foot (ten minutes is usually recognised as the pedestrian threshold for trips) where for railway stations the ten minutes is by car 2 .<br />

To calculate this indicator, modeling techniques are used to create buffers around bus stops and train stations within the Metropolitan Region. The Metropolitan<br />

Region is inclusive <strong>of</strong> the Perth and Peel regions. The population within the buffer is determined by evenly distributing across urban-zoned land the associated<br />

ABS Census Collector Districts 3 population.<br />

An increase in the percentage <strong>of</strong> people living within ten minutes by foot, bicycle or car <strong>of</strong> a major transport route would indicate enhanced accessibility.<br />

3 Census Collector District population figures used in calculating the 2006/07 indicator are based on ‘Census Usual Place <strong>of</strong> Residence’ in the 2006 Census and not ‘Census Place <strong>of</strong> Enumeration’<br />

as utilised in calculating the 2005/06 indicator from the 2001 Census, therefore the figures are not comparable.
