Objectives:  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.
