Eco-mobility justice in the ecological transition. An analysis for possible directions in mobility and transport equity

Abstract

The growing interest in understanding changes in consumer needs and the new paradigm of mobility justice point to new directions for transportation policies. The green transition, which is the first attempt to combine sustainability with the right to mobility and quality of life in transportation, without pollution and with access to services, must prioritize the needs of all users, particularly the most vulnerable, and break the dependence on cars. Although the idea of mobility justice is not new, there is currently a lack of empirical information regarding the relationship between ecological and mobility justice. This article offers a review of the contributions to the literature on the concept of justice for ecological and sustainable mobility, interpreted from the perspective of the ecological transition in view of future policies promoted at a global level, in terms of opportunities for users and with a parenthesis for groups vulnerable. The aim of the contribution is to present the evolution of justice in the field of mobility and offer a discussion on a topic that should gain interest in the literature based on the evidence collected.
