Definition
Mobility refers to the movement of people or goods. It assumes that “travel” means person- or ton-miles, “trip” means person- or freight-vehicle trip. It assumes that any increase in travel mileage or speed benefits society.
Users
From this perspective, transport users are mainly motorists, since most person- and tonmiles are by motor vehicle, but recognizes that some people rely on non-automobile modes, and some areas have large numbers of transit, rideshare and cycling trips.
Modes
This perspective considers automobiles most important, but values transit, ridesharing and cycling where there is sufficient demand, such as downtowns and college campuses, and so justifies devoting a portion of transport funding to transit, HOV and cycling facilities. It supports an integrated view of the transportation system, with attention to connections between modes. For example, it considers walking and transit complementary modes since most transit trips involve walking links.

Land Use
This perspective evaluates land use primarily in terms of proximity to highways and parking supply. The best location for a public facility is along a major arterial or freeway intersection. Downtown locations are undesirable due to excessive roadway congestion and parking costs.
Transport Problems and Solutions
This perspective defines transportation problems in terms of costs, barriers and risks to motorists. It favors solutions that increase road and parking capacity, roadway traffic speeds, vehicle ownership, and the affordability of driving. From this perspective, the best way to benefit non-drivers is to help them become motorists, by making automobile and taxi travel convenient and inexpensive.
Measurement
Vehicle traffic is relatively easy to measure. Most jurisdictions have data on motor vehicle registrations, drivers’ licenses, and vehicle mileage. Performance indicators include traffic volumes, average traffic speeds, roadway Level of Service (LOS), congestion delay, parking supply, vehicle operating costs and crash rates.
