5 ‘global’ trends in transportation | ColumnThere are five important trends in the field of international transportation: mobility, decarbonization, connectivity, universal accessibility and high-level safety and securityThe International Transport Forum (ITF), which was established in 2006 with 43 member countries under the umbrella of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is the only international organization that incorporates all modes of transport on a global scale.
The ITF held an informative meeting last Wednesday on the pressing issues on its agenda and to outline the important work carried out in the field of international transport. The meeting was significant as it highlighted the five important trends in the field of international transportation: mobility, decarbonization, connectivity, universal accessibility and high-level safety and security.
Universal accessibility and connectivity
Universal accessibility means that citizens of the world can access transportation services of an accepted standard, whether they're residing in cities or rural areas and regardless of their religion, language, race or gender. From another point of view, it can even be called the democratization of transport services. In this sense, Turkey has been able to establish a positive level of fair transportation infrastructure and is in a leading position among certain countries in the world.
We live in a world where inequalities prevail even in the 21st century. These inequalities are more evident in certain continents or countries than others and are very difficult for a Turkish citizen to notice or understand. As human beings, we should not confuse the concepts of inclusion in transportation services with connectivity in this sense.
