Published in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this report provides a set of actions and checklist designed to help city decision makers, transport authorities and planners to address gaps and inequalities in their transport systems.
Inclusive public transport systems deliver more equitable outcomes for everybody, while cities with good walking and cycling networks and inclusive, robust public transport systems tend to be more resilient, due to the health, economic, environmental, and social benefits these networks provide. By addressing the transport needs of different groups, cities can boost social equity and their resilience to unforeseen shocks at the same time.
This guide looks at the different aspects and needs of those who are currently underserved, and maps out issues that these groups face as they move around the city. It sets out ways to improve inclusivity across four stages of the planning process, from preparation and analysis to implementation and the monitoring of benefits.
