| Annotation | Although transport is not necessarily high on the agenda of residents in New Deal for Communities areas, there appear to be clear connections between transport and social exclusion. This report is the first to explore the links between public transport and social exclusion in rural and urban areas across England. It summarises some of the key literature; describes and assesses survey methods used; describes the urban and rural study areas; summarises the transport needs of different groups of people; looks at how far transport meets the "adequate" set of criteria; and gives an overview of the relationship between transport and social exclusion. Recommendations are made concerning availability, affordability, accessibility, co-ordination of services, and policies outside the sector which impinge on public transport provision. (RH). |
