Travel is an essential part of everyday life and today most
journeys are multimodal. It is the total travel experience that
counts and integrated transport must reduce the inconvenience of
transfers between modes. Most research and many publications on
transport policy advocate sustainable transport, but the priority
given to integration has been negligible. Yet integration is one of
the most important means to advance sustainable transport and
sustainability more generally.
While integrated transport systems are seen to be an ideal,
there is a failure to make the transition from policy to practice.
The authors argue that the achievement of sustainable transport is
still a dream, as an integrated transport policy is a prerequisite
for a sustainable transport system. It is only when the two
concepts of sustainability and integration operate in the same
direction and in a positive way that real progress can be made.
In this book, transportation experts from across the world have
addressed the questions about what is integration, why is it so
important and why is it so hard to achieve? The book provides an
in-depth analysis of these issues and it aims to provide a better
understanding of the subject, about what should be strived for,
about what is realistic to expect, and about how to move forward
towards a more integrated provision of transport infrastructure,
services and management.
