This book shows that transport matters. Comprising a series of highly accessible chapters written by respected experts, it reviews key transport issues and explains how and why effective and efficient transport is fundamental to successfully addressing all manner of public policy goals.

They also provide key recommendations for how we could do things differently to bring about a happier, healthier and more economically secure future for all of us.
