Abstract

Transport justice has two essential dimensions: (1) compensating for inequalities in access to mobility, and (2) mitigating the disproportionately burdensome negative consequences of transport. In light of the urgently needed action regarding climate change especially in the transport sector, measures reducing carbon emissions to mitigate the impact are inevitable. However, policy measures for reaching climate targets should avoid increasing unequal mobility chances. Therefore, there is a need for concepts striving to mitigate both climate impacts and transport injustice. The paper addresses the potential of introducing individual mobility budgets to achieve transport-related climate goals while reducing inequalities in mobility. The concept proposed in this contribution is based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative impact assessment methods including a stakeholder involvement process and transport modelling based on different data sources. The results provide policy recommendations as well as further research requirements, which are already partly addressed iin follow-up projects.

Funding Information:
The feasibility study “mobalance” was funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit) and the funding agency FFG within the framework of the 9th Mobility of the Future (MdZ) call 2017 (focus: passenger transport). We want to thank the Institute of Advanced studies (IHS) for their support and the cooperation while preparing and conducting the consensus conference as part of one of the Social Labs within the H2020 project NewHoRRIzon, and the numerous experts who were taking active part in it. Finally, we thank the market research institute INTEGRAL for their support in collecting data from a representative sample in Austria for the preference survey.
