    Conclusion

    101.   The future development of transport systems and options will require attention to be paid to regulatory, financial and social measures which an help mitigate the adverse effects of infrastructure stress and infrastructure damage. Whilst market forces will remain the principal drivers of change, Government action to help direct other measures might be needed when market failures occur. Policies aimed at dealing with these problems might include demand management, including road pricing and charging; shifts to smaller, safer, more fuel efficient cars; and improvements to public transport services, including attention to better interchange practices with other modes of transport.
