Sustainability for All

This report explores the idea of “sustainable accessibility” as it applies to transport. It focuses on the needs of vulnerable demographics, including older people, people with disabilities, low-income groups, and residents of urban peripheries, regional towns and remote areas.

In doing so, the report looks beyond mobility policy to consider land-use and spatial planning, the growing digitalisation of economies, and their roles in securing accessibility for all.

The report stresses that mobility policy alone will not be sufficient to address sustainable accessibility. Different policy domains will need to come together, including land-use and development policies, and infrastructure and service planning (e.g. through the expansion of broadband infrastructure, or the location of schools and hospitals).

National governments will need to signal the importance of sustainable accessibility as an outcome by including it as a priority in strategic planning documents and providing guidelines on how to achieve it across different levels of government.
