Tackling poverty: What is the role of transport?

Summit23_Programme_Plenary

This session will explore how policies for equitable access to transport can improve access to jobs, education and other opportunities for disadvantaged citizens. A lack of transport options makes it difficult for underserved communities or lower-income households to take advantage of economic opportunities. Limited availability of transport can play a role, as can the lack of affordability, safety, performance or digitalisation.

  • In what ways are transport and socio-economic inequality linked?
  • How can transport help reduce poverty in developed and developing countries?
  • How can knowledge sharing and innovation help address the mobility needs of those in poverty?
