Publication Year

Document Status

Abstract
Examines how light rapid transit projects might help to achieve the objectives of the Government’s Integrated Transport White Paper. Looks at examples of light rapid transit systems recently constructed both in this country and worldwide; the problems that they have faced, both at the time of their construction and afterwards; what successes they have had, particularly in terms of removing traffic from roads and thus reducing congestion or restraining its growth; and whether it is appropriate, and if so what help can be given, to assist the growth of light rapid transit schemes in the United Kingdom.
