Sustainable Accessibility for All
Research Report, Policy Insights,
27 June 2024
- Accessibility requires broader framing. Physical access is a crucial component of accessible transport services. But accessibility involves an intersection between many different policy areas and frames of reference. Focusing on one aspect is not sufficient to guarantee accessibility for all.
- People need sustainable options. People need opportunities to be available and accessible, and they need sustainable travel options to access them for sustainable accessibility to be a reality. Additionally, policies targeted at travel choices may be needed to change travel behaviours.
- Engage effectively with communities. To improve engagement with the people impacted by transport interventions, policy makers should consider a wide variety of citizen participation processes. The exact form of these processes will depend on what is most appropriate for the context.

Transport System Resilience
Roundtable Report, Policy Insights,
10 April 2024
- Transport networks are vulnerable.
Transport systems face multiple disruptions, from geopolitical tensions and climate change impacts to pandemics. Understanding these disruptions is crucial for strengthening their resilience. - Disruptions have spillover effects.
Transport networks are interconnected, and transport disruptions in one part of the world can easily spread to other regions. Managing such spillover effects requires inter-regional co-operation. - Be systematic about resilience.
The concept of transport resilience must be built into national-level policies, long-term plans, appraisal procedures, competition policies and transport indicators.
Youth on the Move: Young People and Transport in the 21st Century
Corporate Partnership Board Report, Policy Insights,
31 January 2024
- Choices and constraints. Young people have different needs, expectations and constraints regarding transport than other age groups. Their mobility choices depend on a combination of socio-economic factors and limited resources.
- Transport’s future. Young people’s travel behaviour and aspirations could influence how sustainable transport will become in the long run.
- Give youth a voice. Young people’s views rarely figure in transport policy decisions. Traditional transport planning does not always consider their needs. Involving young people in transport planning and decision-making could better align solutions with the challenges.
