Transport and the Poor

Transport and the Poor refer to how access to transportation affects people with limited financial resources. Reliable, affordable transport is essential for jobs, education, healthcare, and social participation. Often, low-income populations face barriers like high costs, limited route options, or lack of nearby services, which can restrict their opportunities and worsen poverty. Improving transportation for the poor involves creating affordable, accessible, and efficient systems that connect them to essential services and economic activities, helping to reduce inequality, promote social inclusion, and support economic mobility.
