Objectives of SIG 10
This SIG was launched at the 9th WCTR in Seaol, focusing on urban transport policy instruments. Its principal objectives are to:
- collate experience on the performance of urban transport policy instruments;
- establish good practice in the evaluation of such instruments;
- develop a research programme to enhance understanding of the design, implementation and performance of such instruments; and
- encourage the development of interactive learning methods in the subject area for students, practitioners and decision makers.
These objectives will be reviewed and expanded from time to time in light of SIG members' interests.
Membership
Membership is open to any academic or practitioner with an interest in the subject area. Anyone interested in joining is invited to contact the author at the address below

KonSULT - Knowledegebase
An internet-based international Knowledgebase is being developed on a not-for-profit basis, as an aid to the academic and professional community. The intention is that it will provide an regularly updated compendium of academics and practitioners understanding of the performance of over 70 policy instruments, based on international experience. Material is presented in multimedia format, allowing users to probe for information at the level of detail which they require. The structure of the Knowledgebase allows users to assess the contribution of a given policy instrument in different contexts and against different policy objectives. Contributions from those with experience with specific policy instruments are welcomed. Centralized management of the knowledgebase is intended to iensure that the data incorporated are of high quality.
SIG members are encouraged to participate in the development and use of the Knowledgebase. It is envisaged that its ongoing development will help in formulating and updating the research agenda of the SIG, by identifying gaps in our knowledge of the performance of specific policy instruments, demonstrating the need for a better understanding of factors affecting transferability of performance, and highlighting enhancements in the procedures for evaluating performance. The Knowledgebase may also have a role in developing interactive learning methods in the subject area, and SIG members with an interest in this field will be encouraged to form an educational sub-group.
