Travel is central to our lives, and the transport system brings us
the goods and services that we need and allows us to access the
experiences and opportunities that we seek. Yet our transport
system has many problems: congestion and overcrowding, noise, air
pollution and carbon emissions, deaths and injuries, and the
intrusion of vehicles into unsuitable locations. Much effort and
money has been devoted to tackling these problems, over many years,
but progress is slow. Recognition of the urgent need to respond to
climate change is prompting major transport developments -
particularly a switch to electric vehicles - and it is also argued
that the amount of travel we undertake will need to be reduced. The
coronavirus pandemic caused a great shock to our travel patterns,
showing us that we could manage with much less movement if we had
to. But as the pandemic recedes, our travel behaviour is largely
reverting to what it was before, albeit with less commuting to work
and less shopping in person. This book offers a comprehensive
overview of the transport system. It looks at how it has developed,
at how it will need to evolve to meet our need for travel -
sustainably and economically - and at what our options are for
meeting those needs.
