Mobility of Urban Population

The thematic area "Mobility of Urban Populations" is concerned with mobility problems in large, highly decentralized cities, where many residents still do not own automobiles, transit service does not reach all areas and where congestion on roadways is a major problem. Priority topics include research on methods for improving the mobility and accessibility of disadvantaged populations and research on innovative ways that buses and other rubber tire vehicles can be used to deliver high-quality transit service. Areas of interest also include improvements in the configuration of public transit services, delivery and efficiency of services, and organizational structure/management of services.
