To understand the complex meanings of mobility and to engage in transport planning and management processes a variety of disciplines, skills, and tools are potentially useful. Universities have a limited amount of time and resources to train future professionals though. This poses a problem: where the teaching priorities should be? By means of a web-survey this study has asked to academics based at a number of universities what are the disciplines, skills, and tools that -according to their personal viewpoints -are the most relevant for practitioners in the mobility and transport sector. The respondents generally support curricula that facilitate a holistic, non-specialised, understanding of mobility and transport issues.

“…Such planning must take into account trip purpose, temporal and spatial distributions of trips, modal splits of travel, and costs (Meyer and Miller, 1984). These considerations will impact current and future infrastructure as well as the environment.…”

“…Associated with this has been the continued development and application of analysis approaches and models for identifying and assessing alternatives for achieving mandated reductions. Another example is the urban transportation modeling system which consists of interrelated models for helping to predict travel demand (see Meyer and Miller, 1984). This is essential for evaluating impacts on facilities and various modes of travel resulting from regional growth and change.…”

The form of a city has a major impact on the lifestyles of its residents. As urban centers grow, careful strategies are required to ensure that the regional quality of life is not adversely affected by this growth. An important strategic consideration is transportation planning. Questions regarding the sustainability of dispersed car dependent urban forms have led to a renewed interest in public transportation. This paper examines access to public transportation and discusses approaches for improving such access. Examples from the South East Queensland region of Australia will be used for illustration.

“…In general, bus stops should provide a safe and pleasant environment for passengers. Bus stops with greater than average daily boardings should have shelters, landscaping, and adequate lighting (Volinski and Tucker 2003;Meyer and Miller 2000). Bus-stop design should minimize conflicts with motorized traffic as well as with other nonmotorized users such as bicyclists in bike lanes or pedestrians walking past passengers waiting to board a bus.…”
