Web GIS dashboard for IMPT (Index for Monitoring Transport Poverty) project
Transport poverty refers to an individual or household inability to access essential services, opportunities, and social participation due to limited, inadequate, unaffordable, unreliable or non-existent means of transport (Mejía Dorantes and Murauskaite-Bull, 2022). However, due to the lack of a universal definition and its multidimensional nature the identification and measurement of transport poverty can be challenging.
This project aims to tackle this challenge by developing a multidimensional index that enables its measurement and monitoring over time at both national and regional levels, with the aim of identifying priority areas for intervention and supporting a just mobility transition.
Data preparation is available at https://github.com/U-Shift/IMPT-data repository.
This research was conducted by the U-Shift Lab at Instituto Superior Técnico - University of Lisbon, in collaboration with the Transportes Metropolitanos de Lisboa (TML).
This research was funded by Science4Policy, a PLANAPP - Centre for Planning and Evaluation of Public Policies iniciative to support the definition and implementation of public policies based on scientific evidence, under the Science4Policy (S4P): Concurso de Estudos de Ciência para as Políticas Públicas call (PLANAPP-S4P/8042/2025).
