Measuring Transport Equity

Measuring Transport Equity provides a methodology that can shape the transportation decision-making processes so more equitable transport solutions can be adopted. Focusing on numerous applied methodological approaches to transport equity assessment, the book formalizes the disciplinary practice, definitions, and methodologies for transport equity. Measuring Transport Equity recognizes the different types of equity and acknowledges that each requires their own assessment methodologies. Bringing together the most up-to-date perspectives and practical approaches for assessing transportation accessibility, environmental impacts, health, and wellbeing, Measuring Transport Equity sets standards for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners for conducting social impact analyses.
