Dimensions of Accessibility Benefits
This paper addresses the problem of involuntary social exclusion resulting from mobility constraints by proposing a conceptual model for the interaction between transport and wellbeing.

While some see the ultimate aim of transport policy as increasing wellbeing, an agreed model of how these two interact does not currently exist.
