Accessibility is broadly defined as the variety of opportunities provided to people through efficient arrangement of land use and various modes of transport. It measures the ease with which people are able to find and reach the best suited opportunity, either for work, study and others. The purpose of Austroads NS1586 is the development of an accessibility assessment framework for policy analysis and performance monitoring. The metric developed in this project is referred to as the accessibility metric or AAM. The endorsement of this report by Austroads does not imply that each road agency will adopt the AAM.
