Inside Track offers a wide assessment of the state of transport, travel and mobility across the UK in relation to how it interacts with the economy, environment and society. It is designed not just to be innovative in terms of its content but also its structure and design. Moving away from the traditional approach to writing a transport text towards a more vital and contemporary form should help generate interest in the book and reach new audiences for its messages. The book is divided into a series of edited chapters, each focusing on an important intersecting theme that helps explain what transport does, why we should think about its impacts seriously, and how and why we might want to go about changing things in the pursuit of wider policy goals.

Industry Reviews

"A well-thumbed copy of this book should be on every transport minister's desk. It shows why transport is such a key policy tool of government and explains why it is so rarely used well." Christian Wolmar, Transport writer and broadcaster
"This lively collection of essays, by some of the key thinkers in the field, will be of central interest to all those concerned with the role that transport plays in modern social and economic life." Ron Martin, University of Cambridge
"Essential reading for students and practitioners who will be thankful for this well-written, comprehensive and delightful coverage of the transport policy space." Jim Steer, Director of Steergroup
"This book examines the unprecedented challenges and opportunities of the 'transport question' in a time of vast technological and social change, and is rightly focused on societal ends, not means. It could not be more essential reading for every planner and decision-maker involved in choosing the future we want for our communities." Lord Taylor, Chair of UK government policy reviews of Planning Practice Guidance and Rural Economy and Housing
