Jordan's BRT system

Project Active from 1 Mar 2025 to 30 Sep 2026 Sustainable Growth and Cities

This project examines how Amman’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system impacts labour participation among women and refugees. Through a comprehensive survey, it aims to identify barriers, focusing on public transport perceptions, particularly safety and social norms. Findings will help policymakers create inclusive transport systems that foster sustainable economic growth.
