It focuses on the following themes: 

• a growing body of evidence linking transport to wellbeing
• economy impacts and wellbeing
• accessibility and inclusion
• urban realm and place-based impacts
• disruption and reliability of transport

TAG provides information on the role of transport modelling and appraisal and how the transport appraisal process supports the development of investment decisions to support a business case.
