The analysis done in the period 2018-2019 contributes to the UK response to improving transport in the low-income countries in Africa and South Asia. As a result, key priorities have been identified for applied research in 2020 to make road, rail and urban transport more efficient and affordable, and all transport greener, safer and more inclusive for all users. This applied research is a vital link in making transport a sustainable lifeline for people in low-income countries, because transport gives farmers and manufacturers access to domestic and international markets and people in rural and urban areas access to schools and health services.Research and information: generalbicsscaccessibilityaccessible road and rail infrastructureaccessible transportAfricaageingAsiabest practicescapability plancapacity buildingchildrenclimate change strategiescorridor managementcrash datadesigndisabilitydisability and mobilityefficient transport servicesgendergender disparitygreen transporthigh volume transportinclusive transportinjury severitylow carbon transportLow Income Countrieslow- and middle-income countrieslow-carbon transportlow-income countriesmaterialsmobilitynon-conventionalolder peopleParis Agreementpartneringpassenger and freightpeople with disabilitiespovertyrailway technical strategyrailwaysrecyclingriskroadroad and railwayroad crash costingroad safetyschoolsmart citysmart mobilitySouth AsiaSub-Saharan Africasustainabilitysustainable mobilitytransporttransport corridortransport corridorstransport coststransport development impactstransport infrastructuretransport policyunder-reportingurbanvulnerable groupswider economic benefitsworkyouth voiceResearch and information: generalBurrow Michaeledt1327831Ghataora GurmeledtThompson BruceedtObika BernardedtBurrow MichaelothGhataora GurmelothThompson BruceothObika BernardothBOOK9910557680503321Sustainable High Volume Road and Rail Transport in Low Income Countries3038156UNINA
