2013年里约世界交通运输研究大会（WCTR）。它涉及主题领域G，该领域审议了在地方、区域和国家各级制定和执行运输计划和政策的体制进程。特别是，它的重点是确保交通运输弱势群体在交通运输政策中的社会包容问题，这是会议上非常受欢迎的新主题，在四天内吸引了六个不同的演讲环节。这些会议涵盖的问题包括：为特殊需要群体和偏远社区提供过境服务;无障碍、排斥和参与;运输系统的社会影响和分布分析;以及在该部门内制定新的治理和政策机制，以确保提供更具包容性的服务。本期特刊中的七篇案例研究论文选自这些会议，重点是如何在交通基础设施已经高度发达、大多数人口都能获得高水平机动化交通的城市提供社会包容性交通。在这方面，迄今为止的运输政策（如果存在）的主要重点是为弱势群体和社区提供辅助性过境运输服务，使他们能够更容易和负担得起地参加工作、保健和教育等关键活动。然而，这一目标充其量仍然是运输政策的一个边缘方面，发达经济体中很大一部分最低收入群体在其生命周期的某个时候将经历与运输有关的各种排斥。
This special issue arose from the 2013 Rio World Conference of Transport Research (WCTR). It relates to Topic Area G, which considers the institutional processes of developing and implementing transport plans and policies at local, regional and national levels. In particular, its focus is on the problem of ensuring the social inclusion of transport disadvantaged groups within transport policy, which was a highly popular new theme at the conference attracting six different presentation sessions over the four days. The sessions covered issues such as transit service provision for special needs groups and remote communities, accessibility, exclusion and participation, social impact and distributional analysis of transport systems and developing new governance and policy mechanisms within the sector to ensure more inclusive delivery. The seven case study papers in this special issue were selected from these sessions.The focus of the issue is on how to deliver socially inclusive transport in cities with already highly developed transport infrastructures and where the majority of the population has access to high levels of motorized mobility. Here the main thrust of transport policy to date (where this exists) has been on providing supplementary transit services to transport disadvantaged groups and communities so that they can more easily and affordably access key activities such as work, health visits and education. However, at best this goal has remained a marginal aspect of transport policies and a significant proportion of the lowest income groups in advanced economies will experience various aspects of transport related exclusion at some point during their lifecycle.
