Transportation Amid Pandemics: Practices and Policies

Edited by Junyi Zhang and Yoshitsugu Hayashi

Transportation Amid Pandemics: Practices and Policies

is the first reference on pandemics (especially COVID-19) in the context of transport, logistics, and supply chains. This book investigates the relationships between pandemics and transport and evaluates impacts of COVID-19 and effects of policy responses to address them. It explores how to recover from pandemics, reveals governance for immediate policy responses and future innovations, suggests strategies for post-pandemic sustainable and resilient development, shares lessons of COVID-19 policymaking across countries, and discusses how to transform transport systems for a better future. Transportation Amid Pandemics

offers transport researchers and policymakers the scientific evidence they need to support their decisions and solutions against pandemics.

Key Features
