Despite the widely acknowledged significance of the social impacts of transport in political and public life and their distributional effects across various segments of society, this issue has received less policy attention relative to economic and environmental impacts. The aim of this working paper is to synthesise and critically evaluate the currently disparate literatures pertaining to the social impacts and equity of transport, transport disadvantage as it pertains to different social groups, and the wider interactions between transport poverty and social exclusion. It summarises what is known about these issues at the present time, identifies gaps in the knowledge base and draws attention to opportunities for further research. The working paper is designed to contribute to a wider scoping study of this topic, which has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council of Great Britain.
