tion. Last, from Dworkin, he extends the theory of equality of resources to the realm of transportation through a series of fictive scenarios. Synthesizing these theories, Martens concludes that a fair transportation system is one that provides sufficient accessibility to all members of society. He then embarks on a discussion of identifying the sufficient level of accessibility through democratic deliberation and selection. In the third part, Martens presents 10 rules of transportation planning based on the principles of justice. Each rule corresponds to a particular step in the transportation planning process, from identifying population groups in the study area to implementing solutions and monitoring impacts on the identified population groups. He then applies these rules to the Amsterdam (The Netherlands) region to demonstrate how such an approach could proceed in a practical case. In the last chapter, the author explores principles for fair financing strategies and taxation schemes for a just transport system. A broad range of readers may find Transport Justice a valuable addition to their bookshelves. For academics, this book presents a long-overdue discussion on transport justice from a philosophical perspective. For practitioners, the rules developed in the book may serve as guidance and a starting point for establishing a transportation planning process that is more fair and inclusive. For policymakers, this book sheds light on the shortcomings of current financing, taxation, and project selection schemes and assists them in making informed decisions when implementing interventions in the transportation system. In light of recent domestic events in the realm of transportation, such as the defeat of Nashville’s (TN) transit plan at the ballot box and the revelation of the massive cost overrun of New York’s (NY) Second Avenue subway, the arguments in Transport Justice seem increasingly relevant. Can these setbacks be justified by the principles of justice? If not, what measures need to be in place to prevent similar situations from happening in the future? Although Transport Justice may not provide answers to all these questions, it extends the discourse on social justice into the domain of transportation and therefore could ”serve as a source of inspiration for all who are seeking transportation justice” (p. 178).
