Mobility is a basic human need, and transport is the way that it is achieved. Walking is the oldest form of transport, but in modern societies other transportation forms predominate - chiefly motorised land transport. The starting point for the research described in this document is the proposition that safe and sufficient transport should be accessible to everyone.
The research focuses on the interaction between access to safe transport and the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people in several distinct South Australian Aboriginal communities (urban, regional and remote). It draws on the fragmented literature and, through interviews and focus groups with Aboriginal people and their service providers, starts to develop a coherent view of the issues and possible responses.
