Forum News 10.2: Virtual Access - Taking the Super Highway
Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have the potential to save people time, money and energy on unnecessary travel, and have been introduced to the rural transport sector as a non-transport solution to meeting information access needs. However the articles here suggest that ICTs not only provide a substitute for travel but can also act as a catalyst for change. ICTs have been observed to encourage greater transparency and participation in transport decision- making, to enhance the performance and efficiency of transport services, and to alter the face of mobility needs as travel patterns change to meet the new requirements of better informed communities.
