| Summary

"This webinar will explore what happens when transport policy is shaped by shared visions – easy access for all to health, employment, education, retail and leisure – and the economic realities and non-transport policies that underpin them. It will also look at the integration of planning, education, and health policies to solve transport issues. Transport is a ‘wider determinant’ of many social policies, for example access to health, education, and employment, but there are several challenges for both policy makers and practitioners in recognising it – and funding it – as such. Public health policy has, in the past, played a key role in shaping transport policy – improving air quality, road safety and active travel initiatives, for example. But in traditional transport economics, the ‘value of time’ (the opportunity cost of the time that a traveller spends on their journey), and the belief that most people use a car to get around, has prevailed, leading to more road funding. This simple reality underpins our transport modelling, planning and investment decisions, but time savings cannot be the main economic benefit of transport investment, which means that conventional transport economic appraisal is misleading. When people step outside of their home, are the most efficient, accessible and fair transport options on offer for them?"
