“It’s fair once you’re in it” - Comparing public and government perceptions on Zero Emission Vehicle policy
Public support is important for policy success, and people tend to be more supportive of policies they perceive to be fair. Where public perceptions were not adequately considered, or where the views of the public and government diverge, policy outcomes may be different than expected. However, there is only very limited research on public perceptions of fairness, particularly in transport. Drawing from the tenets of a Just Transition, this study …
How much storage do we need in a fully electrified future? A critical review of the assumptions on which this question depends
‘How much storage do we need in a fully electrified future?’ On the face of it, this is a perfectly sensible technical question that needs to be answered if energy systems are to be decarbonised and if climate change goals are to be met. In this deliberately provocative paper, we argue that this question is itself part of the problem. In working towards this conclusion, we argue that assumptions surrounding i) spatial and temporal scale; ii) the …
The case for ‘public’ transport in the age of automated mobility
Conceptualising Demand
This book addresses fundamental questions about the very idea of demand: how is it constituted, how does it change and how might it be steered
Exploring the role of the state in the depoliticisation of UK transport policy
This paper responds to calls for greater empirical investigation of the interrelationships between depoliticisation and repoliticisation processes. It does so by applying the ‘three faces’ (governmental, societal and discursive) organising perspective to a longitudinal analysis of transport policy in the UK. This case is important because acceptance of the current dominant policy solution – infrastructure spending – appears to have come full circ…
Seeking protection from precarity? Relationships between transport needs and insecurity in housing and employment
The importance of the nexus between transport, housing location and employment location has long been identified as important to social welfare. In transport research this has however operated largely at either end of the spectrum of advantage. There exists a strong tradition, with roots in welfare economics, which explores those with choices and how they make trade-offs between where to live and work, the associated wage rate and the commute cos…
The governance of smart mobility
There is an active contemporary debate about how emerging technologies such as automated vehicles, peer-to-peer sharing applications and the ‘internet of things’ will revolutionise individual and collective mobility. Indeed, it is argued that the so-called ‘Smart Mobility’ transition, in which these technologies combine to transform how the mobility system is organised and operates, has already begun. As with any socio-technical transition there …

Governance of the Smart Mobility Transition
The transition towards ‘smarter’ autonomous transport systems calls for a rethink in how transport is governed/who governs it, to ensure a step-change to a more sustainable future. This book critically reflects on these governance challenges analysing the role of the state; the new actors and discourses; and the implications for state capacity
Questions of governance
Symbolic Meta-Policy
This paper seeks to understand how the UK government's headline climate change targets are translated into action at the local level in the transport sector drawing on the findings of research in two English regions. In doing so, these headline targets are identified as a symbolic meta-policy that results in little action on the ground and which challenges established conceptions of policy implementation. Both the ‘meta’ and ‘symbolic’ aspects of…
Bounded Rationality in Policy Learning Amongst Cities
The internationalization of policy regimes and the reorganization of the state have provided new opportunities for cities to bypass nation-state structures and work with other cities internationally. This provides greater opportunity for cities to learn from each other and could be an important stimulus to the transfer of policies across the globe. Few studies exist however which focus on the processes that shape the search for policy lessons and…
