Totally unexpected. My paper "Does income inequality matters for household transport expenditure? A look into different income distribution measures in rich countries" was awarded the best paper prize in the Topic Area Transport Planning and Policy at #WCTR2019

David Banister reveals the disproportionate benefits that #transport investment tends to hand to the rich + disproportionate cost to the poor. We should invest in modes that are more equitable, for a #fairer #society is 'richer' in a broader sense. @UCL_BSP @BartlettUCL @UCLTI

Prof David Banister @TSUOxford launched yesterday his new book Inequality in Transport at @Transport_SJ @TheBartlettPhD @UCL_BSP You can get the book here 👇: inequalityintransport.org.uk

“Current #transport #policy encourages the rich to travel more, further & faster. We’ve seen the institutionalisation of the car as the solution by the elite.” Prof Banister @TSUOxford @Transport_SJ lecture

1 We need to reduce inequality through investment and subsidy. 2 Appraisal should include who wins and who looses 3 All people have the right to good home 4 Yet, #transport plays a key role in raising human capital & accessing opportunities Prof Banister @TSUOxford @Transport_SJ

The focus in #transport is on autonomous & electric vehicles. These vehicles don’t solve our problems We are stuck in this mentality that the car is the solution. New vehicles should be small, light, slow & capable of carrying 1-2 people Prof Banister @TSUOxford @Transport_SJ

Fresh in press, our paper with Luis Guzman from @inguniandes in Transport policy @Transport_ELS about the accessibility effects of targeted subsidies for #publictransport in #Bogota. Transport policy can be a form of social policy. authors.elsevier.com/c/1WvGk,L-HRQU…
