Transport should serve travellers, shippers and consumers with
minimum disruption and damage to communities, the environment and health. Yet experience has
shown that often the needs of individuals are either not fully understood or simply ignored
in transport service and infrastructure planning and provision. The result can be a
disconnect between initiatives taken to improve the transport system and actual user
satisfaction with those efforts.

- How can the net benefits of transport for individual users be increased - what are
the respective roles of companies, governments and individuals, as well as the costs and
trade-offs?
- How can decision-makers better incorporate the individual user and beneficiary into the
planning and provision of transport? Are new governance structures needed?
