The Nexus?
• Connectivity: The quality of a network to facilitate travel between two points.
• Good connectivity means removed barriers to travel• Good pedestrian and bicycle connectivity means greater
opportunity for active living trips• Connectivity can be a performance or priority metric• Connectivity can be one of several metrics to evaluate
active living policies over time

Point-to-point GIS routing?
The direct measure of connectivity

Other connectivity metrics?
Metric Constraint
HCM 2010 Multimodal LOS (NCHRP 616)
Facility based; Not sensitive to network systems, barriers, or key connections
Travel demand models Not scalable to pedestrian or bicycle level of detail
Walkscore (or similar web tools) Informational only; Not applicable for project planning
Intersection density Indirect metric; Not sensitive to projects
GIS buffering Ignores network completely

Are these destinations well connected to surrounding areas?
Analysis Process• Select parcels/building within 0.5 mile buffer around site• Enhance street network to create pedestrian network• Assign pedestrian quality to each network link• Calculate connectivity metric (ViaCity score)• Review results, run/compare scenarios
