Completed project: Identifying opportunities to address Perth transport disadvantage

If transport connectedness is not there, or is subpar, it affects many aspects of our lives, including access to employment, education, medical appointments and shopping, as well as participation in recreation and other social opportunities. Transport disadvantage (TD) can affect our opportunities to participate in economic, health and social activities. For this project, the key elements of TD were assessed and used to develop a TD score. That score measured the relative level of risk of TD for different locations across Greater Perth, based on accessibility and proportion of at-risk population. Find more information from this link.
