“…As a consequence, it improves the conditions and standard of living of the population, and this, in turn, has an undeniable impact on the external economic activity of the country (Babkina et al 2015). Transport infrastructure is the engine of urban development and prosperity in terms of accessibility and mobility (Wei et al 2016, Jones et al 2015.…”

“…Taking the nature of informal infrastructure seriously shifts emphasis away from major investment programmes and hard engineering towards micro‐finance and the creation of shared value. Boda drivers have valuable knowledge that can inform transport strategy (Jones et al., ). Our driver surveys identified improved roads and street lights for safety at night, sidewalks, designated waiting spaces for bodas and even a boda hospital.…”

Informal transport is vital to billions of people living in rapidly growing cities in the Global South, yet is increasingly marginalised as governments legislate against modes of transport that do not conform to ideals of the “modern city.” Using an innovative combination of GPS and qualitative methods, this paper investigates how the estimated 145,000 boda‐boda motorcycle taxis in Kampala, the rapidly growing capital of Uganda, provide mobility and income for its inhabitants. While careful not to over‐romanticise the informality of African cities, we argue that there is a pressing need to understand the contribution that uniquely adapted local transport solutions like motorcycle taxis make to the sustainability of the planet's most rapidly growing cities. The paper shows how mobile methods reveal the ways in which informal transport weaves the city and the lives of its residents together, and proposes a research agenda to make informal urban transport and the kinds of mobility it enables more visible within debates concerning the future of cities.

“…E.g. Jones et al (2015) incorporates stakeholder input into transport project selection to increase prosperity in developing countries; Barfod and Salling (2015) makes use of a combination of MCDA techniques and stakeholder participation to assess the sustainability of different alternatives for a fixed link; Shiau, Liu (2013) and Shiau (2012) develops an indicator system for local governments to evaluate transport sustainability strategies in Taipei; Macharis et al (2012) makes use of the Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Analysis (MAMCA) to evaluate the sustainability of different transport initiatives; and Bana e Costa (2001) finds that MCDA using stakeholder involvement is a useful approach for the evaluation of transport policy options. Moreover, several studies indicate that spatial MCDA using e.g.…”

Appraisal processes for transport initiatives are often characterised by their complexity involving a wide range of impacts that need to be addressed and many stakeholders that attempt to influence the decisions to be made. The increasing interest for the environment and sustainable development in general has stressed the need for taking a broad perspective into account when addressing transport initiatives. This means that economic, social and environmental dimensions need to be considered simultaneously in the appraisal process. The focus on incorporating such sustainability considerations has set new demands for the appraisal process and has revealed an increasing need for involving stakeholders in the decision support process to capture all aspects of the often complex decision problems. Conventional appraisals within the transport area are often only based on cost-benefit analysis, which captures the impacts that can be assigned with a monetary value. Thus there is a need for a decision support system that is able to assess the effect of other types of impacts as well and include this in the appraisal. This paper seeks to fill this gap in research by proposing a methodology making use of planning workshops and multi-criteria decision analysis in combination to improve the decision support. In order to serve the purpose of promoting a more sustainable transport planning approach a proposal is made for how the methodology can be integrated in the current practice for appraisal of infrastructure projects in Denmark (and countries with similar approaches). The paper concludes that the approach allowing for active stakeholder participation in the appraisal process can serve as a helpful and effective decision support system in the quest for more sustainable solutions to transport problems.
