This book presents a thorough academic investigation into the impact of devolution on the formulation and delivery of transport policy in the United Kingdom. Using interviews with key policymakers, transport providers, business organizations, and user groups, the authors draw upon concepts and ideas from across the social sciences to inform their analysis. The picture that emerges is distinctly mixed: there are elements of both convergence and divergence in the strategies and policies adopted by the devolved administrations, and marked variations in the overall performance of these administrations in transport are uncovered. Ultimately, devolution on its own is an insufficient basis for improved policy performance: what matters most is generation of enough strategic capacity to promote real change for the better.
