Abstract

The report looks at the impact of transport disadvantage on families and individuals with low income and no motor vehicle, living in areas with poor public transport provision. The report finds transport is unevenly distributed across Sydney and impacts more heavily on low income households reducing access to jobs, education and recreational options. The report concludes that a mix of creative solutions are required to address people's travel needs.
