How the wiki works
This is a project to build easily searchable and navigable records of published evidence about sustainable transport.

The three main kinds of records you will find are:

Publication Publications - reports, mostly PDFs produced by think tanks, advocacy groups and all levels of government
Book Books - from authors writing about sustainable transport
Journal article Journal articles - from academic publishers

There are also some linking records that help navigation and discovery:

Keyword Keywords - link together publications covering similar subjects
Organisation Organisations - link together everything from the same publisher
Geographic location Geographic locations - link together publications or case studies covering the same place
Person Authors - link together all publications from the same author

And there are some other further linking records that are sometimes used:

Campaign Campaigns - link together publications produced as part of a campaign
Project Projects - link together publications that are part of the same project
Series Series - link together publications that form part of a series over time

Everything on the wiki can be read without any privileged access and there are links to help you do that:

Web Live links - to the publication online or a link to borrow the physical books from a library
Archive Archive links - to an archived copy of the publication

Coming soon are pre-digital era documents.
