Introduction to the Handbook of Transport Strategy, Policy and Institutions

The introductory chapter to this volume provides an overview of the topics covered and some definitions and boundaries regarding the breadth and depth of the material covered. Broadly approached, this volume covers the collection of data, the formation of policy objectives by governments, the establishment of institutional structures to persue these goals, resourcing for the institutions and the monitoring of outcomes. Presented so as to be instructive for someone new to the transportation field and at the same time comprehensive enough for an expert to be updated with new materials and developments.
