N2 - Workshop 6 topics covered social inclusion, the informal transport sector, transport in developing
countries and sustainability. The strong connections and complimentary goals were noted, where
solutions to social exclusion and greenhouse gas reduction can both be realised with good transport and
urban planning. There is an opportunity for developing countries to avoid the transport mistakes in many
developed countries, such as car dependence. This will involve the development of infrastructure that
offers accessible public transport to the majority of people, providing resources to the informal transport
system and integrating this with public transport. The workshop considered specific issues such as rural
transport, new technology, car tolls to subsidise public transport, safety issues with informal transport
and the failure to evaluate the longer-term impacts of many major transport infrastructure developments.
Recommendations were made in relation to research and policy and future Thredbo topics.
