International Transportation Forum (ITF)
| Session Summary |
|
Mobility is sometimes perceived as a right, but defining a basic level of mobility provision is not easy. Transport demand is guided by people’s needs and aspirations, which are diverse and depend on other choices, such as where people live and work. The cost of transport to individuals is an important factor, and this often differs from costs to society. Societal demands for broad access to transport services come at costs that must be accounted for. These issues converge in the policy debate on finding the right balance between mobility rights and the costs of providing safe, reliable and sustainable transport systems.
