Transport Equity

• Shows how to apply transport equity measurement ideas in the real world through case
study examples.

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.
