Accession Number: 01055787
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: In a rapidly developing economic environment with rising income, escalating motorization, and growing urbanization, it is natural for government policies to focus on solving congestion related problems caused by the increased car ownership and usage. The mobility needs of the urban poor have been traditionally neglected in policy and in practice, particularly in developing countries. This paper addresses the mobility challenges that the urban poor are facing based on a household travel survey in the city of Hefei in China. First, we present travel behaviors, transportation costs, and commuting problems of the urban poor. Then we discuss the urban transportation policy implications and examine the prevailing trends of urban transportation policies and plans in Chinese cities. Policy recommendations are suggested to improve the mobility needs of the urban poor.
