Sustainable High Volume Road and Rail Transport in Developed and Developing Countries

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue addresses the sustainable provision of high-volume transport in developed and developing countries. It is recognised that transportation is vital for economic and social development. However, to realise these goals, transportation must be safe, affordable, reliable, and accessible to all in society. Transportation also needs to be sustainable without incurring excessive greenhouse gas consequences and environmental impacts. This Issue of Sustainability explores these ideals in the developing country context. Contributions are invited that address high-volume transport infrastructure and its sustainable management, low-carbon transport, and inclusivity in high-volume transport provision. Theoretical, empirical, and review studies are welcome from the researchers and practitioners alike.
