Selected proceedings of a workshop held in Brussels in November 2000, bringing together a range of participants with different interests and perspectives on transport evaluation—users of evaluations and providers, practitioners and theorists, government officials, consultants and academics—to discuss the interface between the needs of the users and the capability of evaluation to meet these needs. Fourteen contributions are organized into sections on the role of evaluation, technical aspects of evaluation, and evaluation in the policy process. A sampling of topics: transport appraisal in a policy context, spatial economic impacts of transport infrastructure investments, and involving stakeholders in the evaluation of transport pricing.
