• Connect. Principle 3: walking and cycling routes are short, direct varied and shorter than
motor vehicle routes.
• Transit. Principle 4: high-quality transit is accessible on foot.

• Mix. Principle 5: trip lengths are reduced by the provision of diverse and complementary
uses and lower-income groups have short commutes.

• Densify. Principle 6: residential and job densities support high-quality transit and local
services.

• Compact. Principle 7: the development is in an existing urban area and traveling through
the city is convenient.

• Shift. Principle 8: the land occupied by motor vehicles is minimized.
The scoring system is designed to make a quantitatively measure of how a project takes
advantage of land use, reduces motor vehicle use and increases the number of users in public
transport, cycling and walking.

The principles are measured as follows:
