The term social exclusion reflects the existence of barriers that prevent people fully participating in society. Many factors contribute to this, one of which is lack of access to an adequate transport system. This transport policy study focuses on the situation in urban Scotland. 'This book will make an important, evidence-based, contribution to this issue which, in recent years, has become prominent in transport policy debates in the UK and elsewhere.' Dr John Preston, University of Oxford, UK 'Against a careful review of the evidence so far, the authors provide a detailed assessment of the patterns of social exclusion and its transport links in three Scottish areas of different characteristics. The book adds very valuable case study material to an often abstract policy discussion.' Professor Kay Axhausen, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich
