Local Transport Solutions for Rural Development

Local Transport Solutions for Rural Development by Paul Starkey (2002)
A book prepared for the Rural Travel and Transport Program (RTTP) with funding from the UK Department for International Development (DFID).

Intermediate means of transport, including cycles and carts, fill the gap between expensive motor vehicles and tedious human effort. With the help of many photos, the importance of local transport solutions to rural development is explored in the following chapters:
- Mobility for rural communities: the case for better local transport solutions.
- Challenges to be addressed.
- Meeting challenges: learning from experiences.
- Moving ahead: directions to move forward.
- Future directions.
