Select two groups of people from the list (low-income people, indigenous people, immigrants, women, the elderly and people with disabilities) for your assignment.
The inclusive transport system is achieved when all people are enabled to participate in society
through access to social and economic opportunities. The transport system in many parts of the
world is not inclusive because low-income people, indigenous people, immigrants, women, the
elderly and people with disabilities face more barriers than others when using the transport
system, and these barriers prevent them from fully participating in society. Select two groups of
people from the list (low-income people, indigenous people, immigrants, women, the elderly and
people with disabilities) for your assignment.
In this context, please write an essay on the following question:
• What are the barriers to the inclusive transport system for low-income people, indigenous
people, immigrants, women, the elderly and people with disabilities?
• What could be the possible solutions to remove these barriers.
Instructions
• You must critically review academic literature to identify the barriers when using the
transport system.
• Based on the review, comment on the extent these barriers exist in the countries
transport infrastructure and services.
• You must cite at least six sources of scholarly literature in your 8 pages essay. By
scholarly I mean either books or refereed academic journal articles. Technical reports,
websites and Planning Quarterly articles do not count, although you may certainly find
material from such sources useful as well. They are simply not a substitute for six sources
of scholarly literature.
• You should follow an accepted referencing style (APA) and formatting consistently
throughout the essay
