Accessibility-oriented transportation planning refers to the practice of focusing on provision of accessibility rather than mobility in order to achieve sustainability of the systems while meeting the goals of efficient transportation. Although accessibility as a planning concept has over 50 years of history, currently mobility still dominates as the primary goal in transportation planning. We argue that methodologies and data for effective accessibility-oriented transportation planning are indeed available. In this paper, we describe a case study that makes use of existing accessibility analysis methodologies and the latest GIS transit data. We use these resources to estimate economic benefits resulting from improved accessibility of a bus rapid transit project. The estimated monetized benefits can help agencies highlight the benefits of transit-oriented projects in the project programming stage of transportation planning process.
