Indigenous transport

David Denmark

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society, 2025, pp 192-193 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Indigenous people are more transport disadvantaged than non-indigenous people, particularly in remote communities. Issues such as having to travel long distances to obtain goods and services, a lack of public transport, problems in developing local transport services, difficulties in obtaining driving licences and poor access to private vehicles create and sustain disadvantage for indigenous people. Commonly, indigenous people suffer significantly more fatalities in traffic accidents than non-indigenous people. Cultural obligations mean that the need and demand for transport can be different for indigenous people with accessing cultural events taking priority over regular transport services.
