Smart Bylaws Guide – Local Index of Transit Availability
Timothy Rood, Local Government Commission
www.lgc.org/freepub/land_use/lita/lita_manual.html
The Local Index of Transit Availability (LITA) is used to measure
transit accessibility in different parts of a metropolitan area or
municipality. LITA shows where transit service is most and least
intense, which allows local government staff and council to respond
with appropriate land use and transportation plans. It shifts the
emphasis from an analysis of congestion and roadway level of service
to an evaluation of how new developments will impact on community
liveability and non-automobile travel.
