Transport policy and practice is inherently concerned with issues of social and environmental justice. Numerous studies have demonstrated clear links between transport disadvantage and social exclusion. An adequate transport system is vital in enabling access to education and training, employment, shopping and recreation. Illustrated by a range of case studies from the UK and the US, this book puts forward an innovative theoretical approach which explores the development of an ethical framework for transport policy and investment. Drawing on the recently expanding area of engineering ethics to explore and inform this development, it offers insights into how policy and provision have failed to adopt the notion of ethical delivery and provision. It not only looks at the links between social justice and transport provision, but also addresses the important connections and synergies between social justice, accessibility, and social exclusion from a transport policy perspective.
