International Research

The study of transport poverty has been increasingly recognized at the international level. Several key researchers have contributed to shaping the discourse around transport poverty, exploring its various dimensions, such as accessibility, affordability, and social exclusion. Notable global studies have examined how transport poverty impacts different regions, with particular emphasis on its role in perpetuating social and economic inequalities.

Some of the primary international researchers in this field include:

Professor Karen Lucas (University of Oxford, UK): Known for her work on transport-related social exclusion and mobility poverty.
Paolo Mattioli (Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds, UK): Focused on the intersection between transport poverty and energy poverty.
Patricia Meléndez (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile): Specialized in analyzing urban mobility issues in Latin America and transport inequities.

International research highlights the multidimensional nature of transport poverty and its relationship to other forms of poverty, such as energy poverty and housing deprivation.
