Announcing...
Transport Policy has been accepted for coverage by Thomson Scientific, the 2007 Impact Factor will be published in 2008.
Description
Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in
transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at
large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis
to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects,
and suggest how they may be improved.
The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors
including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised
and non-motorised; passenger and freight. It is recognised that policy concerns in transport have to be very wide, to cover safety, efficiency,
economic development, local and global environmental impact, energy, land-use, equity and access for the widest range of travellers with
special needs.
Policy topics include expectations of traffic growth and how to cope with it; infrastructure and vehicle design; traffic
restraint, calming, management and control; regulation, deregulation and privatisation; economic and commercial pricing policy; and the
methodological tools available to
predict and assess the effects of alternative policy options.
It is intended to give special priority
to understanding the nature and influences affecting policy change, including technical, attitudinal, institutional, structural and political
constraints. Detailed local and sectoral case studies will be recorded, with an emphasis on policy and management implications.
