Author:
Date: 2019
Abstract: The purpose of the Austin Area Sustainability Indicators (A2SI) program is to measure quality of life and sustainability trends and serve as the foundation for a systems approach to address the challenges in Austin and Central Texas (including Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties). With indicators spanning a broad range of topics - civic engagement, education and children, economy, environment, health, land use and mobility, public safety, and social equity - the project is a hub of information and analysis for the region. The broad objectives of A2SI are best described by the categories (1) collect, (2) connect, and (3) catalyze. Collect refers to the “data” aspect of the project. Collecting, analyzing, and producing timely and salient reports on key issues in the region, and making the data publicly available, is the primary function of A2SI
