Description:
Supply, accessibility and poverty in transport
The construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure is a state monopoly in all countries of the world. Of course, the states can decide to delegate this task and responsibility to the lower levels of their public administration, to the states, provinces, regions, and local governments. But the state can also decide, if it does not have sufficient resources for this, to sell its existing rights in the development of the infrastructure, to give it to private enterprises as a concession.
The state can regulate the supply of transport infrastructure through self-financed and concession infrastructure development. In the basic case, we can assume that the state, representing the public good, can provide all its citizens and all businesses with the necessary transport infrastructure. But our initial assumption is only partially fulfilled. However, the financial resources available to states and private investors are limited. It is never possible to satisfy everyone's needs. In addition to the limited resources, it is also necessary to select the appropriate objective functions in the development of infrastructure and in the financing of public transport. These objective functions can be based on current transport needs, the creation of a regionally uniform transport network or the improvement of accessibility over time. Normatively defined and achievable goals are often not met either. Individual social interest groups and settlement communities have very different interests enforcement capabilities. Higher-status social groups and residential communities are much better able to represent their interests either in the development of infrastructure, in the operation of public transport or in the protection of their residences. This is how social injustice and poverty can arise in transport and access to transport.
