Travel-Time Justice: Co-creating a Simple Safe Access Scorecard
What if the journey—not the road—became fundable?
We’ll co-create a plain-language Safe Access Scorecard that makes travel-time to essential services visible, comparable, and practical across health, education, markets, and emergency care so governments and funders can decide where to invest first and how to track progress.
Why now
What gets measured gets funded—and proximity (e.g., “2 km to a road”) isn’t the journey.
A simple, equity-centered template can align ministries, donors, and implementers.
UNGA/Climate Week is the moment to agree a “good-enough v1” and pilot.
What we’ll do
Frame (story): why travel-time tiers (dry/wet season) matter
Lightning look: the scorecard template (+ one static travel-time map image)
Round 1 (tables): use-cases + friction points by sector (health, education, markets, emergency)
Round 2 (tables): propose tier thresholds you’d defend publicly
Share-back & next steps: capture v0 template edits, pilot ideas, and a short feedback plan
What this is
A usable template anyone can adapt in-country
A way to align sectors on outcomes (minutes saved to services)
A starting point for pilots and shared reporting
What this isn’t
A proprietary index
A pitch deck
A tech-heavy demo
Outcome
We’ll publish the open template (v0) with inputs from this room, then host a brief October follow-up to finalize v1 and identify pilot locations.
Who should join
Policy, program and data leads in health, education, transport, finance, and implementers who care about getting people to services faster and more safely.
