SDG Indicator 11.2.1: Urban Access to Public Transport, 2023 Release
Listed in NASA Data Portal
The SDG Indicator 11.2.1: Urban Access to Public Transport, 2023 Release, part of the SDGI collection, measures the proportion of the population in a city that has convenient access to public transport.
Description
UN SDG 11 is "make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable". Improving access to public transport services is integral to achieving the objectives of SDG 11.
According to the UN Sustainable Transport, Sustainable Development 2021 Interagency Report, "only about half the world's urban population have convenient access to public transport". The report highlights that access to sustainable transport can help reduce food insecurity, boost economies, empower women, and connect people to key health, education, and financial services. As one measure of progress towards SDG 11, the UN has established SDG indicator 11.2.1.

The indicator was computed as the proportion of WorldPop gridded population within either 0.5 kilometer walking distance to a low-capacity OpenStreetMap (OSM) public transport point or 1 kilometer walking distance to a high-capacity OSM public transport point. Cities were delineated using the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) Urban Center Database (UCDB). The SDG indicator 11.2.1 data set provides estimates for the proportion of population with convenient access to public transport for 5,749 urban centers across 178 countries.
