Funded Activity Summary

Political and social factors in the decline of mass transit: an investigation of failed policies to rebuild Melbourne's mass transit. The project aims to improve understandings of political and social factors underlying failed attempts to rebuild an effective mass transit system In Melbourne. It will do this by developing an analysis of the delivery of Melbourne's mass transit system which combines modern public policy theory with the outcomes of recent transport planning research. Urban transport in Australia imposes very large economic, social and environmental costs. Significant increase in the use of mass transit is necessary to reduce these costs. The project will provide problem-solving knowledge to assist efforts to improve the planning and delivery of mass transit in Australian cities.
