Transport policy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia / dictionaryProfessional

Abstract

Government intervention in the transport sector is extremely wide ranging. To name just a few examples, governments provide and maintain transport infrastructure, tax and licence vehicles, subsidise and regulate public transport, set speed limits, determine rights of way, and implement vehicle emission standards. Despite trends in the liberalisation and privatisation of the transport sector over recent decades it remains one of the most regulated sectors in many countries.
