	Transport - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Transport, or transportation (as it is called in the United States), is the movement of people and goods from one place to another.
		The growth in transport would be impossible without communication, which is vital for advanced transportation systems, from railroads which want to run trains in two directions on a single track, to air traffic control which requires knowing the location of aircraft in the sky.
		Transport and land use interact in another way, transportation facilities consume land, and in cities, pavement (devoted to streets and parking) is a good fraction of the total land use.

	Transport finance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transport finance is the subject that explores how transport networks are paid for.
		The timing of the money required to finance transport is a principal issue.
		There are monetary costs, which are financed with money, as considered above, but there are also non-monetary costs (sometimes called hidden costs), which are paid for by people's time, by clean air, by peace and quiet, etc. See the discussion of externalities for a fuller explication of non-monetary costs.

	Transport economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The contribution of transport systems to potentially hazardous climate change is a significant negative externality which is difficult to evaluate quantitatively, making it difficult (but not impossible) to include in transport economics-based research and analysis.
		Methods of funding and financing transport network maintenance, improvement and expansion are debated extensively and form part of the transport economics field.
		Transport economics considers issues of the economic regulation of the supply of transport, particularly in relation to whether transport services and networks are provided by the public sector (i.e.

	Urban Transport Overview
		Recognizing the inability of the public sector to provide adequate finance for urban transport infrastructure and, in many cases, the relative inefficiency of the public sector in providing urban transport services, the public sector is increasingly relying on the private sector to provide these facilities and services.
		Transport planners and economists have been advocating for years the logic of charging road users for the use of scarce road space, primarily as a means of maximizing the use of urban roads during congested periods, and secondarily as a means of securing additional funds for transport investments.
		An increased emphasis on charging transport users, especially private vehicle users who are the least efficient users of transport networks, for the costs of the facilities and services being provided to them at public expense is one solution.

	network failure
		Transport links to Bradford Centre and surrounding areas were felt by residents to be generally quite good, although complaints were made about reliability and the lack of Sunday services on some routes, and about prices.
		Communities in the constituency of the former Transport Minister Stephen Byers have set up community transport forum which broadcast their experiences directly onto the web (http://www.geocities.com/moorparkexploreclub); public service failure in the constituency of the former Minister responsible for public transport is directly revealed by the communities themselves through distributed technology.
		Within transport, there has been much discussion of the difficulties of ensuring that women, minority groups and the mobility impaired are adequately represented in transport user groups: the difficulties in attracting users to the sites of meetings are well recorded.

	Document Title
		Public investment in transport typically accounts for between 2.0 and 2.5 percent of GDP and may rise as high as 3.5 percent in countries modernizing outdated transport infrastructure or building new transport infrastructure.
		Although demand for freight transport in industrialized countries grows less rapidly than GDP, in developing and transition countries the growth rate is closer to that for passenger transport.
		In 1994 foreign aid accounted for 12 percent of total infrastructure financing in developing countries (including transport), while private financing of infrastructure accounted for 7 percent and was rising.
