Author(s): Taruna Tayal, Krishna Anantuni, Elizabeth K Burns
The paper measures the automobile dependency in metropolitan Phoenix using GIS. This research shows the level of automobile dependence in one of the most automobile-dependent cities in the world-Metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. A geographic information system was used to prepare the inventory and analysis of existing transportation infrastructure. The results revealed that in all jurisdictions the available road facilities greatly outnumbered the bus facilities and bicycle facilities. The paper describes the population and transportation components of several multimodal indexes developed to measure local automobile dependence.
