If a mobility transition is what we want, transport research should....

Innovation in transport is needed more than ever. Mobility is still increasing exponentially throughout the world. And with a rapidly growing and rapidly urbanizing world population this is very likely to continue, especially in the Global South. We know that mobility forms a vital component of how we organise our lives, our businesses and our societies. But we also know that current mobility patterns and trends are unsustainable. In short, our planet cannot afford mobility to proceed on this unsustainable path. We are in need of a radical change in the way we move around people and goods, that is, of a transition to sustainable mobility.
