Abstract

This chapter outlines how a mobility management approach to local and community transport can address transport disadvantage by facilitating access to public and community transport services. The chapter examines mobility issues faced by transport disadvantaged groups and identifies a range of gaps that hinder achievement of end-to-end trip realisation. This highlights many of the barriers that need to be tackled to improve social inclusion from a mobility perspective. The chapter presents a case supporting strong local/ regional input into mobility planning and service delivery.
