Summary
Over the past decades, many OECD countries transport sectors have become more decentralized. This report examines whether the economic benefits and experiences of decentralization have been positive. It finds that the answers vary according to the mode of transport, the type of decentralization, and transport users representation in the process of decision-making.--Publisher's description
