Running on Empty: Transport, Social Exclusion and Environmental Justice

doi:10.46692/9781847426000

However, 'transport poverty', and its links with wider welfare objectives, is poorly understood. This book looks at the delivery of transport from a social policy perspective to assist in a better understanding of this issue.
