Driving change or stuck in place? Mobility justice in Finnish and European transport policy

Abstract:
While mobility justice has been the subject of much research, it is unclear to what degree the insights of the field are applied in national and EU-level transport policy. This work examines this question empirically by analysing transport strategies for the EU and Finland. The avoid-shift-improve framework is used to assess the effectiveness of the policy measures proposed for moving towards a more sustainable transport system. The results indicate that the justice dimension of sustainable mobility is not fully considered in transport policy and that car dependence and the inequalities caused by it are mostly referenced in an indirect way. While a shift to sustainable modes is advocated, there is a heavy focus on technological solutions. Electric vehicles and sustainable alternative fuels, the key technologies for transport decarbonisation, will, however, do little to reduce transport-related inequalities.
