Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The paper examines the extent of car dependence and reliance in rural areas and presents a long term strategy based on facility and service provision, and the provision of transport networks and services that can ensure that choice of travel mode exists for a much larger proportion of journeys than at present time. The strategy is based on developing networks for non-motorized modes and for public transport, supporting local services and local economies, and ensuring that a rural voice reviews all policy interventions that might impact on rural transport provision.
