Synopsis

Measuring Transport Equity provides a range of methods with the potential to shape transport decision-making processes, thus allowing for the adoption of more equitable transport solutions. Presenting numerous applied methods and applications of transport equity assessment, this book formalizes the disciplinary practice, definitions, and methodologies for transport equity. In addition, it recognizes the different types of equity and acknowledges that each requires its own assessment methodologies. Bringing together the most up-to-date perspectives and practical approaches for assessing equity in relation to accessibility, environmental impacts, health, and wellbeing, the book sets standards for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners for conducting social impact analyses and is an ideal reference for those involved in transport planning.

• Written by a collection of top researchers and upcoming scholars in the transport field
• Shows how to apply transport equity measurement ideas in the real world through case study examples
• Covers emerging transport topics, including the use of advanced measures of inequality
• Includes learning aids, such as methodology, application, policy relevance, and further reading
