Transport is a necessary input to urban life, providing the means of access from home to activity.  It plays a key role in people’s lives, providing them with access to opportunities. Only recently have planners begun to consider the social, environmental and poverty impacts of transport interventions. Auditing transport for efficiency and anti-poverty effects is still in its infancy.
