We investigate transport and mobility from perspectives of the social and political sciences studies with the aim of delivering effective, fair and environmentally sustainable mobility systems locally, nationally and globally. Our mobility system shapes our social and economic opportunities and activities and has profound implications for environment and health ranging from greenhouse gas emissions, urban pollution and resource and land use. Although the benefits and problems of mobility are shared by everyone, they are not shared equally. The ways in which mobility is organised and governed locally and globally influences the nature and distribution of the social, health, economic and environmental aspects of mobility.
