Review of Performance Measurement of Transit Oriented Communities

Executive Summary

Transit-Oriented Communities are popular in modern urban planning, harmonizing efficient transit with sustainable community growth. This study proposes a phased measurement approach, anchored by the Theory of Change, to assess a TOCs’ progress and success across its project lifecycle and beyond. Drawing from a structured literature review, we classify key performance indicators (KPI) into short-term (TOC planning and tendering), medium-term (TOC implementation), and long-term (TOC completion and beyond). The literature review has generated the following key recommendations for performance measurements in TOCs: embrace a phased KPI approach, secure reliable data sources, initiate phase-specific jurisdictional assessments, ensure broad stakeholder engagement, and utilize real-time monitoring dashboards.
