Benefits Toolkit
The Landscape Performance Series Benefits Toolkit is a searchable collection of online tools and calculators to estimate landscape performance.
The tools can be used to estimate specific landscape benefits for completed projects when actual measurements are not available, or they can be used in the design phase to compare projected benefits among various options. Many tools also allow the user to compare life-cycle costs for conventional and sustainable design features.

ICLEI Active Transport Quantification Tool
Australian Government Department of the Environmental and Water Resources, ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability - Oceania, Victorian Health Promotion Foundation
2007This online assessment tool estimates public health, community, and environmental benefits of walking or riding bikes as alternate forms of transportation. The user adds actions such as walking or riding to school or work, along with the distance and frequency of these trips. The tool then quantifies the financial benefits associated with less driving, congestion, pollution, heart disease, and other health and community benefits, as well as the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The tool is free, but requires users to register and login in order to use it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm trying to track down whether the tool has been moved or taken down...
