Abstract

Governance at the local level is a key to implementing solutions that will bring about community sustainability and equity. This project developed a scorecard for local governments in the Inland Empire region of California to measure the level of sustainability and equity in the transportation system. The results show that out of 56 local government entities in the region, none were ranked outstanding. Less than half or 48% received a score of average and 52% were below average. This paper reviews the methodology used to score and rank the local governments and provide a series of actions that need to be taken to improve sustainability and equity in the region’s transportation system.
