Abstract

This paper describes the main findings of a ten month study commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT) to develop and pilot accessibility planning techniques in England, outside London. The main aim of the study has been to define how accessibility planning, as described by the SEU's Making the Connections report (Social Exclusion Unit, 2003) can become a central part of the culture of integrated transport planning across England.
