What do we owe each other in terms of accessibility?

The concept of accessibility links urban planning with transport policy, and a common premise in accessibility studies is that access to activities and facilities is essential to participate fully in society. Access barriers can be financial or organisational, but our focus is on the transport dimension. Qualitative research will be carried out to better understand what transport poverty means, and to explore the question, 'What do we owe each other as citizens in terms of accessibility?'.
