We draw on the extensive literature on travel behavior, which has shown that people’s travel behavior is at least in part shaped by the travel barriers they experience. Starting from this basic insight

Building on Elizabeth Anderson's work, we argue that transport justice should be understood in terms of dismantling oppressive social hierarchies rather than merely redistributing resources. The paper outlines three key dimensions of relational
