Rural Travel and Transport Planning
INTRODUCTION
Until recently most developing country governments and aid donors believed that building comparatively high standard rural access/feeder roads was the most effective way of addressing rural transport problems. While it is true that better road access may well be critical to improving rural transport, there is now increasing recognition that a much wider perspective should be adopted. The most effective solution to the rural transport problem will involve a combination of policies and measures designed to address the wide range of constraints to access and mobility that are commonly experienced in rural areas of developing countries
