Transport Sector Health Index (TSHI)

How Healthy is Your Country’s Transport System?

The Transport Sector Health Index (TSHI) provides a comprehensive assessment of transport system performance using 16 indicators across four dimensions.

Environmental Performance

Measures the environmental impact of transport and sustainability performance.

A1. Public transport use per capita
A2. Network accessibility index
A3. Active travel mode share
A4. Affordability of public transport
S1. Road deaths per billion vehicle-km
S2. Serious road injuries per billion vehicle-km
S3. Serious rail/bus incidents per billion passenger-km
S4. On-time performance of key passenger services
E1. Transport GHG emissions per capita
E2. GHG intensity of passenger and freight transport
E3. Share of low- and zero-emission vehicles
E4. Air pollutant emissions from transport
F1. Quality of trade and transport-related infrastructure
F2. Multimodal freight/logistics efficiency
F3. Urban congestion and travel time reliability
F4. Digital and data integration in transport

Accessibility & Usage

Assesses how easily people can reach desired destinations using tranport services.

Evaluates safety outcomes and the reliability of transport services and infrastructure.

Safety & Reliability

Efficiency & Integration

Assesses the efficiency of transport systems and the quality of infrastructure and integration across modes.

The Transport Sector Health Index (TSHI) is built on four equally weighted dimensions that together provide a comprehensive assessment of transport system performance. Each dimension represents a fundamental aspect of transport sector health and is measured through four normalised indicators, resulting in a balanced and transparent evaluation of national transport systems.
