“…The transport sector is responsible for a quarter of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, and shows an increase in emissions that is faster than that of any other sector [11]. In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the concept of transport disadvantage as well and its possible consequences-such as the social exclusion of low-income groups and communities [12]-and in the transport-based barriers that contribute to social injustices-especially along the lines of race and class [13]. These are sometimes referred to as "transport poverty" [14].…”

“…Although transportation is increasingly framed as a social issue by researchers and policy-makers [13][14][15][16], the social dimension is still largely marginalized in planning processes [2,13,[17][18][19]. One reason for this is the dominance of the conventional planning approach, which typically focuses on traffic flows [20][21][22].…”

For the purpose of this study, the term quality of life is used to refer to the direct impacts of transportation infrastructure on individuals.…”
