Over the last decades a growing interest regarding the environmental dimension of urban mobility has been experienced. Different environmental assessment techniques (EIA, SEA, Costs-Benefits analysis, vulnerability analysis, etc.) are frequently used to minimize environmental consequences of mobility projects on cities. Despite these techniques are widely extended, certain evidences show problems when confronted with complexity of urban mobility. This seems due to technical and conceptual reasons.
The paper aims to gain insight into this problem through the study of evaluation methods orientated towards assessing the environmental performance of urban mobility. To illustrate and assess the worth of this hypothesis, an environmental performance system to assess urban transit corridors has been developed and applied on the real case of a metropolitan transit corridor in Granada (Spain).
