participatory process to give a voice to stakeholders who could be
affected by enhancements of freight transport productivity Making
robust recommendations to strengthen governance and the
institutional capacity of agencies to manage the environmental,
social, and poverty consequences of freight transportation
infrastructure The book also presents information on the economic
