- W9161825 abstract "This paper examines the transportation problems of those with limited resources and the contribution to these problems of past transportation policies. The ability of the poor to engage in economic activity is limited by inadequate transport facilities and services and is generally hindered rather than helped by current transportation policies. Urban growth is causing transport conditions for the urban poor to deteriorate, but a reorientation of the development of urban settlements is feasible, and such a reorientation, by placing less emphasis on the formal economy and central-area growth and more on the informal economy and dispersed growth, may reduce the need for travel while maintaining or increasing the opportunity for participation in economic activity and social life. Current rural transportation policy, oriented mainly towards the provision of rural trunk roads and feeder roads, often built to a high standard of design, is inappropriate and should be reformulated. The rural poor should be provided with essential access facilities and the development of appropriate vehicles for use both on and off the farm should be promoted. The urban poor have no option but to rely on walking, bicycles or some form of public transport. Current urban transportation policies, by focusing on highway investment, generally make travel conditions worse for the urban poor and reduce the range and quality of urban facilities available to them. Policies relating to engineering works, traffic management and public transport operations should be modified so that an appropriate balance is struck between the transport requirements of different sections of the community. The transportation needs of those with limited means can only be satisfied through the development of appropriate planning procedures which place more emphasis on the collection of appropriate information, the development of expertise through practical experience, local participation and the co-ordination of agencies.
